This is of significant interest to me because I come from a region of high employment. As a result, what we've seen in the private sector is a real dependence on temporary foreign workers. I fear the day the federal government will have to bring in temporary foreign workers to fill our positions. I hope it doesn't ever come to the point where we have to do that. That's why I'm concerned and hopeful that we're looking to the future, if we ever come to a point where there's high demand for employees, that we've considered what we're going to do.
