Witnesses, thanks for your presence here today, via skype or being physically present.
My question is for you, Mr. Wong. I understand that you're talking about the problem here really being a systemic problem and about permanent residency being the solution. We've heard this from various witnesses, but I'd like to focus on the abuses that are occurring and get your input on those.
The changes to the temporary foreign worker program in June 2014 introduced changes for monitoring and enforcement mechanisms available to Employment and Social Development Canada. The proposed changes introduced increased inspections using a tip line reporting system. I'd like your opinion on how effective those changes have been in ensuring employer compliance.
