Thank you for the question.
I believe it starts with the actual application. To date, some of the people who have contravened the system haven't been honest with HRSDC. For example, in the case I quoted this morning, they told HRSDC that the workplace wasn't unionized, when in fact it was. Once that untruth was uncovered, there was no mechanism inside HRSDC to address the problem in the workplace—they couldn't retract....
To answer your question within a broader scope, people coming in here have to know what the ground rules are. They have to know, for example, that they are covered by workers' standards. You don't surrender your passport when you arrive at St. John's airport. Where else does that happen besides Cancun? Sorry about that.
You also have to know that you're covered by workers' compensation in the individual provinces, and there has to be a connection between the provincial government and the worker.
In our experience, it hasn't been that way at all. I once asked HRSDC regarding the P.E.I. workers, while it was still an issue in P.E.I., if in fact these workers were covered by workers' compensation. I couldn't get a response. This was somebody in the program in Ottawa. So there's a disconnect.
