It's more than only the administration, it is the impact of the program. I think a complete and transparent study of the program would benefit Canadian business and the workers themselves.
If we could simply square the circle on one, I asked a question earlier this week and your response was, “but let us not forget that it was the Liberal government that created the low-skills stream of this program in 2002. All we have done since then is to tighten the rules.” You were half right on that. We did create the low-skilled stream. When we left office, there were 36,000 temporary foreign workers on positive LMOs in 2005. By 2012, that had grown to 107,000. In 2007, the parliamentary secretary to the then minister of citizenship and immigration said “We're processing a record number of temporary foreign workers.” Then in 2008, your predecessor, Minister Finley, responded in Hansard, “We have made it faster and simpler for employers to hire a foreign worker...”.
Can you reconcile the two positions of yours and Minister Finley's?
