The federation has spoken out on the increase in the number of immigrants admitted each year. That number is currently 45,000 and, according to one of its scenarios, the Quebec government wants to increase it to 55,000. The federation agrees. Since we'll be short of labour, it's just as well to see to the matter immediately.
Of course, we want these people to integrate into the economy as quickly as possible, to occupy jobs for which it is hard to recruit. We will clearly prefer by far to make use of permanent residents rather than temporary workers. However, it's not necessarily one or the other.
There are seasonal jobs. Harvests normally last only a few months. I don't see why we would look for people who would then stay here permanently and have all the troubles in the world keeping themselves busy the rest of the year. Many countries in the world make recurrent use of temporary workers. In addition, the number of persons they use is much higher than here, but they do things in an entirely proper way.
