I will be brief.
We were in Alberta yesterday and there was a lot of talk about the problem of temporary workers who were exploited by their employers, mainly in salary and housing. Their rights were not respected like those of other workers. The matter was so serious that the representative of the Alberta Federation of Labour said that Canada's reputation was at stake.
We touched on the matter a little this morning, but we did not hear from people as close to the workers as you are. I would like to hear what you think. This morning, we were told that it is not a problem here, and that in Saskatchewan, it was not as widespread as in Alberta. Is there a danger that the situation in Saskatchewan will get worse and that people will be exploited as well? Do you have assurances from your provincial government that labour standards will be fully upheld? It is not the federal government's role to oversee that. I would like to hear your comments.
