I would add to Mr. Roberts' comments.
You mentioned the building trades. There's been some coverage in the media in the last couple of days about, I believe, the building trades union indicating some level of support for certain aspects of the temporary foreign worker program. Interestingly enough, in those articles reference is made to a University of Calgary study. Some of the honourable members on the other side were saying they want empirical data. Interestingly, this University of Calgary study supports many of the comments Mr. Roberts and I have been making, that continued reliance on the temporary foreign worker program as a solution to so-called labour shortages rather than looking at labour mobility issues, rather than looking at training issues, is going to have serious adverse long-term consequences for the Canadian economy.
The study concludes by saying that we need to have a more robust immigration policy that brings people into this country to work in Canada and welcomes them to stay here as permanent residents and citizens.
Thank you.
