Merci.
I will speak French. Does everyone have a translation device that works?
Ça va bien, Monsieur Davidson? Okay.
A balance must be found. On the one hand, there is an urgent need for human resources in the service enterprises. We want to ensure that a restaurant or an inn can provide its services and meet its business targets this year. On the other hand, we don't want programs—and this is what we fear—that encourage businesses to resort to low-cost labour everywhere in the country. In that sense, we are not certain that there is a balance in every case.
You said, Ms. Reynolds, that in several regions, some of the human resources issues were long-term problems. In other words, the problem will still be there in 5, 10 or 15 years. That is a good example.
Given those conditions, should we not ensure that immigration be normalized, and that workers be able to become Canadian citizens and enjoy the same rights and advantages as all of us around this table?
