I've sat on this committee for 10 years. I have been hearing the same problems come along for some years. I've often said what you have to do is, when somebody comes in, they can work for numerous employers. Tying them to a single employer is certainly the wrong way to go.
I think maybe we can have a solution to this. A lot of these folks don't speak the language and they need help in all those areas. Expecting government to do all of this is really difficult.
Every temporary foreign worker pays into UI and they get absolutely nothing out of it. If we stopped making them pay UI and have that be a union due, I think the natural advocates on behalf of rights, which are the unions, would be able to assist the temporary foreign workers in making sure their rights are respected. This is what we really need. You're not going to get enough inspectors at the provincial level unless there are some people who can deal with their rights and present the case to the regulating bodies.
Could I get a comment from both of you on that?
