Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses who are taking part in our study of the labour shortage. Their testimony is very helpful.
This first round of questions will certainly not be enough.
My question is for Mr. Michaud.
Thank you for being here, Mr. Michaud. I would also like to thank you for telling us about your experience. Your company's primary mission is to support businesses in connection with recruiting workers.
The question I'd like to ask you is this. In concrete terms, how can we reform the Temporary Foreign Worker Program?
There are two things that concern me. Since we began this study, a number of industries have told us about the difficulties they encounter in connection with the program. They run into all sorts of pitfalls, including wait times. I would say that we see the same thing in our constituencies. For several years, a number of companies and businesses have been calling our constituency offices because they are having trouble getting answers to their requests.
You talked about poaching. Because of differences with how the no-name LFIAs work and the other forms, temporary foreign workers can get poached.
My question is general. If we had to reform the system tomorrow, what would be the major issues we would have to tackle, knowing that there are some things that are unique to Quebec, of course?
Thank you.
