I think that's a twofold question. First, there might be concerns from some of the people too, but you have to not only look at the home country but look at our own legacy, our own immigration system. Who's been put in and, as Avvy asked, who's been put out?
There is a book by Vic Satzewich, chair of the McMaster sociology department. It's called Racism and the Incorporation of Foreign Labour. I also want to contextualize why farm workers were put in this permanent temporary position.
While the government at the time, in the sixties, said they were very concerned about agricultural workers, particularly black men coming to Canada, what are the reasons they gave? Number one, they didn't want black men sleeping with white women. Number two, they didn't think that black men could acclimate themselves to the climate. Number three, they were worried about the civil rights struggle happening here in Canada. These were the reasons the government gave at that time to make sure that migrant workers would not be set up here with permanent status.
Before talking about and looking at other countries, we first have to look at our history to make sure we are not repeating the same mistakes as in the past. We have thousands of workers here in this country who need status, both under temporary programs and non-status people. If we want to ensure that their productivity is met, we have to deal with our own immigration issues first.
