Thank you.
First, I want to express my concern that in a study as important as this one, we are getting very little time with you. I hope as a committee we can find some way to redress that. We all know that the temporary foreign worker program has been a source of much scandal as well as shame over the way temporary foreign workers have been treated in our country.
I want to begin with asking you, as officials, if you could perhaps add to a statement that we understand Minister Mihychuk made on April 18 about her intention to end the temporary foreign worker program. Would you have any information on that statement, which was made in a public speech?
