I understand that, when there is a genuine shortage, when there are no qualified workers, then someone has to come to do the work. The work has to be done and commitments have to be respected. But there are also a number of cases of abuse with temporary foreign workers working in Tim Hortons or McDonalds. So we are not talking about the same thing. We have also seen excesses with HD Mining International Limited, which is asking workers to be able to read or speak Chinese so that they can use the equipment in the mine.
At the same time, it is not the case that there are 10 jobs open for every unemployed person. The figure is about 1 for every 6. That means that, for every job that goes unfilled because of a labour shortage, six people are looking for work. What do we have to do to train those people so that they are able to get a job, and also to create new jobs? Even if every unemployed person started working at jobs for which there is a shortage, five out of six workers would still be without jobs.
