At the risk of speaking on behalf of my contractors—in Local 97, we represent over 240 contractors as well as our members—we hold them to a higher standard with the apprenticeships, skills training and stuff that they have to pay into on an hourly basis so that we can continue to further the trade.
When we have companies taking advantage of the temporary foreign worker system, where they can come in and undercut some wages as much as 50%, it makes it pretty hard for that good Canadian company that's done everything right and paid taxes in Canada. How do they compete? It's a numbers game at that point.
