We understand there's a cost to administer this program, and we're okay with that. The problem occurs when you double the cost in less than five years, and there's no return to taxpaying, hard-working Canadian companies that are bringing millions and millions of dollars in tax income to the government and employing hundreds and hundreds of people.
If you look at the bigger scheme of things, in Langley, we are bringing in millions and millions of dollars in business to the merchants outside of our Coast Spas group of companies. When you look at the bigger scheme of things, when you raise the application fee on one side, Mr. Warawa, and on the other side there is no return, then the system doesn't balance out. As a result, in my opinion, the temporary foreign program is a broken program. It doesn't work for our manufacturing sector, period.
