I think he made it clear on both of these points from both of you that from the federation's point of view, we should be putting a moratorium on this temporary foreign worker program until there's been a substantial review. Hopefully your committee will be able to help with that.
Secondly, we need to work hand in hand with a substantial immigration policy, with a labour market policy, so that they're not happening from the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. This needs to be coordinated.
Just as an example, so that you know, in our province we have a tripartite labour market committee. We meet regularly every month with representatives from the provincial government, the labour movement, and the employers' community. We talk about issues like this, but we also do labour market planning, and we try to incorporate the need for newcomers. All of that is discussed at this table.
I would suggest what's lacking is a similar table in the national sphere, where we are bringing stakeholders together—government, unions, the community, and employers—to discuss what we do with this. And I'm not talking about on an ad hoc basis, but as a committee that works and does this work and that is there on a standing basis to advise the federal government on issues of this importance.
