There have been a few meetings with Mr. Fox in the past, and we have talked about increasing the number of agricultural workers, and therefore increasing the number of programs. Several countries are asking us if we are going to include them. We have not noticed any opposition, or people who do not want Canada to welcome agricultural workers, who are in fact temporary workers.
There is also the domestic worker program. This program is somewhat different, as it allows people to obtain permanent resident status after three years.
There are different classes of temporary workers. What does the department intend to do when they arrive? What rights will they have here?
