That is an interesting question. Thank you very much.
The temporary foreign workers file is obviously a very hot one. There are at least five different categories of temporary foreign workers, and they're not all the same. A couple of years ago, when there was enormous public concern about it, I think most people were focused on the low-skilled workers who were doing jobs that most Canadians would be able to do.
That speaks to your mobility problem. It's fine to say that there's a job waiting in Tofino, B.C., but somebody in Nova Scotia can't get there, and if the job is working in retail or a restaurant it's not going to pay the mobility cost. So we agree that there's a significant challenge there.
However, in the crackdown on the temporary foreign workers we also cracked down on extremely skilled people who are the key to some sort of development from which hundreds and hundreds of Canadians are going to benefit. We really did ourselves in, and we have to reverse that.
I always like the example of a European hockey goalie who comes over and plays for Vancouver. That's a temporary foreign worker, and if that person does a really good job, not only does the team go to the playoffs but so do the car parks, the concessions, the restaurants. Everyone benefits because one foreign worker, an extremely highly skilled individual, was sourced and brought in to do that job.
You can extrapolate that through the whole economy. In some of the projects we've talked to, people have done extremely extensive studies of the Canadian workforce. They have said they do not know for sure that they're going to have enough of some particular kinds of skills.
