Before I begin I'd like to make a point of clarification.
MP Warawa has suggested that I was the one who said that permanent residence was a solution. In fact, when I said that, I was quoting from Mr. Wong's opening statement, which was corroborated by Professor Liew's comment. Just to be clear, those were comments I was making about the witnesses, not expressions of my own personal opinion.
Mr. Thompson may be the best one to ask this question to. We're hearing from some industries that have been using TFWs that they have tried everything and still can't find Canadian workers.
Do you believe this to be the case, and if you do, then what is the solution for these industries in finding employees to meet their needs?
