Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our presenters this afternoon.
I have listened with great interest to the presentations today, earlier in the week, and obviously in previous weeks. Coming up with the right framework or formula on TFWs is a heavy load for the committee. We hear and recognize that atrocities and very bad stories and situations have happened out there and continue to happen.
On the other side of that coin, we see examples from ITC, the video game industry, Maple Leaf Foods in Brandon, and other situations or industries that really need temporary foreign workers to sustain them.
We're here to try to find solutions and to come up with the right framework going forward. I can ask you lots of questions about your industry and things such as that, but I think I'm going to start, Mr. Watson, with ITAC and talk about your industry's efforts to recruit, retrain, and attract Canadian workers. We want to hire Canadian workers first, if possible.
Can you elaborate a little bit on what you and your industry have done to recruit, retain, and attract new Canadian workers?
