You say there are problems on the labour market at present. Many people are concerned about whether employers have really used all the tools available to them and whether all efforts were made to ensure that local workers were recruited before trying to recruit foreign workers. This is a concern we hear often around this table and outside. When employers use this program, how do you respond to the people who have those concerns? What can you tell us to demonstrate that every possible avenue has been used to hire local workers?
