Thank you very much for that question.
It's incredibly important for programs like the temporary foreign worker program that there are ongoing checks, balances and evaluations of these types of programs that have been introduced. For too long, I think what we have seen is a misuse of the program in many cases while, at the same time, too many jobs have been allowed to be filled by temporary foreign workers that could be filled by Canadians.
That's not to say that we shouldn't have or don't need to have a healthy and robust immigration system in Canada. I believe that we do. The reality is, when we set up the kinds of conditions and rules we do around programs like the temporary foreign worker program, we're almost setting it up for failure and abuse. Without ongoing inspection, auditing and evaluation of that program, we're going to have problems in terms of what you've just described, that not every decision being made is a good one.
