Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Hello. Thank you for being here today.

I read your report with interest. I was especially interested in the issue of workplace inspections. You said that more evaluations are done on paper.

My concern in this regard is that, in my riding of Ottawa—Vanier, there is a high percentage of seniors and individuals who require home care that should be supervised.

I question the importance of knowing the relationship between the employer and workers, specifically temporary foreign workers. Can you explain the importance of having more on-site inspections as opposed to inspections on paper?
