It's a good question. I do think a temporary foreign worker program is one tool, and I think most of us have mentioned that. Often it's said to be the last desperate tool, although I'm not sure I'd paraphrase it that way.
I'm working on a LMIA now for an oil and gas company in your area that's paying over $150,000 to a specialized person. There may be 12 in the world who can do his job. I've already been refused once on it. I've had a horrendous number of odd questions about it. We put in another LMIA at another $1,000, and we're waiting for the answer. That fellow has about 200 people who are going to put down their tools if he doesn't get approved at the next go-round. Most of them are union members; in fact, I suspect that all of them are. He has no intent to stay in Canada. In fact he has a wonderful life in the U.K. He's worked in Indonesia and Australia. He helped all those places with pipelines, which is what he does. It's very frustrating to see that happen.
In the same sense—I'll try to be quick here—a 20-year-old girl sat next to me on the plane yesterday. She doesn't have a job. She told me that she doesn't have anything against a temporary foreign worker; she just doesn't know how to find a job in Canada. But she's in Ottawa, where we just arrived, as opposed to your area, where she'd be picked up off the street and given a job.
