Our point, and it would be about not only the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration but the overall approach, is that the enthusiasm for temporary workers is a dangerous and incorrect direction to go in. We do need to do something in the way of bandages to deal with this whole range of problems that we now have in our communities for the workers and for the rest of the community. But fundamentally, the minister should go back and re-examine all the reasons why they got into this and why they're continuing to pursue it so enthusiastically.
I met with the previous Minister of Citizenship and Immigration in November of 2006 and spent time going through a whole list of predicted problems that would arise if we started this dramatic increase in temporary workers. The next day the minister announced measures to bring far more temporary workers, and sure enough, every issue in the year and a half since then, we're now dealing with this as community organizations.
