Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I did not have the pleasure and the good fortune to be with you in 2016. If I recall correctly, that last report was submitted in 2016, five years ago. During those years, as a union leader, I was dealing with working conditions for staff in health care, education and daycare services in Quebec.
Today, I feel that the situation has changed. I am not saying that nothing in the report is still relevant, but, five years on, against the background of the pandemic and the labour shortage that the pandemic makes worse, the situation is not the same. Demographic factors are also involved, as we will see.
Since I came into politics, the temporary foreign worker program has been very important in meeting the needs of companies in certain sectors. We have been urged from all sides to make changes to the process. I feel that it would be appropriate to focus on it as part of our work on the labour shortage, because questions will really need to be asked. So it could be an interesting study to do.
