Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of our witnesses for being here today.
First, I have a point to make with Ms. Casipullai.
You mentioned in your comments that the $1,000 fee that employers are paying to put in a labour market impact assessment is being downloaded upon the temporary foreign worker. As you know, that is absolutely illegal; that cannot happen. If you have any information about specific cases, please forward that to us at the department and we'll investigate. That's what those fees are for and we'll make sure that doesn't continue.
Ms. Brazeau, could you tell us a little more about the qualifications of SST members, the rigours of the assessments, and how the employment process as a whole has worked?
