Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today.
I found your testimony very interesting. One of the witnesses said that the government had announced two programs in the last week. I would like to say two things not just about the programs mentioned during this meeting, but also about those announced by the government. First, the government is doing as little as possible, as late as possible. Second, it made that announcement on the very day when we had the CFIB, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, here at the committee.
With that said, my first question is for Mr. Guénette.
You talked about the two announcements made by the government in the last week. The first concerned the pilot project launched in Quebec under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. It involves open work permits with restrictions in terms of province, for foreign workers selected to receive permanent residence in Quebec. I would like to hear your comments on the government's announcements regarding the program launched in Quebec.
Thank you.
