Sure. Let me say that revoking the permit or suspending the labour market opinion process is a tool of last resort. What we'd like to do is signal to employers exactly what the rules are and to make sure they understand what is a legitimate use of the program, and when there are situations where the government thinks this is not appropriate use. I think it starts out well before the revocation of the LMO or the work permits, so it's to set out that framework. I think the April 29 announcement went a long way towards setting out that framework, clarifying to all employers what is expected and what is considered to be proper use of temporary foreign workers.
One of the things that was announced on April 29 was that there will be a question in the labour market opinion that explicitly asks employers: are you hiring these people as part of an outsourcing strategy? If the answer is yes, obviously there will not be an LMO issued. It's to get an understanding of the program ahead of time.
It's the same thing with the transition plan and the requirement to put in place a transition plan. It lets employers understand again that these are there for temporary purposes, the ability to bring in workers, but that they should be working towards a transition plan to bring in Canadians. Each situation is going to differ, but it's to look at the training plans, look at what the labour market is like, and put those plans in.
It's only when those things aren't working, or facts change, as I've said, or you've got an employer who isn't playing by the rules, that you'd want to use these additional powers to revoke the LMOs or the work permit. It is a tool of last resort.
