As we talked about a bit before, as far as the processing goes, what it does is reduce a step in the current process by which an employer sends in a labour market opinion application.
Someone has to literally take it off the fax machine, verify that it's complete, take the information, and manually input it into the foreign worker system. At that point, they can process the payment that's been sent with it. That's a fairly time-consuming process, and errors can happen along the way.
We obviously have systems to ensure that doesn't continue, but from an efficiency perspective, we think that reducing not just the paper but the amount of time that someone uses to actually take the information from paper and input it into an electronic system, multiplied by the tens of thousands of labour market opinion applications we get a year, is a significant efficiency saving. It's something that, as we've heard from employers and from anyone involved in this process, is a useful step, because we're essentially trying to cut out part of the process that is a large burden on us and slows down processing.
As far as the program goes, I think it's a boost. I think the part 6 amendments are consistent across the department and represent an important departmental approach in managing this business. From the foreign worker program side, I think it's a benefit. There are savings that are important for government and important for the users of our program, and that, effectively, from my perspective, has only an upside.
