Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. It's very interesting testimony.
Mr. Sidhu, you are located in beautiful Langley, British Columbia, and thank you for being with us today. You said in your testimony that you had temporary foreign workers in 2007 and 2008 when you used the program, but you have not been able to use the program since.
What are the hurdles? We just heard from Mr. Hilchie that it can take up to four months. Could you share with us as an employer.... I've seen your facility and it's definitely not the 18th century type, it's up-to-date and appears to be a very good working environment. You shared what you do to engage with your employees, but what are the hurdles to find workers? If you cannot find Canadians first to do the job, then what are the hurdles to get the foreign workers who are needed for manufacturing in your company?
