Thank you very much.
I'm very pleased that you all came today to this hearing, and unlike Mr. Karygiannis, I believe that you really want to protect workers. I know you want to protect foreign workers and you also want to protect Canadian workers.
I was reading your briefs. There were several briefs. There are six recommendations from the International Brotherhood, with several recommendations about protecting foreign workers. Had Mr. Karigiannis not been spending time playing “Brick Breaker” on his BlackBerry, he might have grasped your position more clearly. That's what they would have seen.
I would like to come back to what one of you mentioned.
Mr. McGowan, you noted that in the last years your program had changed in several aspects. You said the numbers had changed, and you also talked about the range of the program that was broadened. It has broadened in the last years, and you didn't have a lot of time to finish your brief. I was just wondering what the other changes were that happened recently in the program.
