Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. To the witnesses, thank you, all three of you, for being here.
Perhaps I'll direct some of my questions to the restaurant and food services side and get a better understanding of your interest in the temporary foreign worker program.
Ms. Reynolds, I think you said in your testimony that only about 2% of all the workers employed within the industry across the country—the many small businesses I know—are members of your association. We're not talking about a very significant amount of the workforce. Most of the workforce are Canadians or landed immigrants, and I would assume most are working full-time in these restaurants and that this is their mainstay livelihood.
Could you give me a better sense of this 2% and of the different regions of the country? I think Mr. Davidson very well articulated his specific issue in southeastern Saskatchewan, which might be a heck of a lot different from the case in Mississauga, Ontario, where I am from.
How prevalent is the program and the need for the TFW program for your members across the country in different regions? Do you have a better regional breakdown than just saying that it's 2% across the country?
