Thank you for your presentation.
Certainly, I have a few questions. Our former Bloc immigration critic, Meili Faille, who we just talked about earlier, had said in reference to this bill:
On the basic objective of the bill, we share the same values. We find it completely unacceptable that, here in Canada, people can suffer degrading treatment, be denied their dignity and be subject to sexual exploitation. We agree that legislation is needed to implement measures to protect foreign nationals.
Quoting another individual who appeared on The Verdict, CTV Newsnet, Richard Kurland said, “The idea is to prevent any degrading, humiliating treatment, including sexual exploitation.”
But if you were to sum up the objective, would it not be the fact of protecting vulnerable temporary foreign workers? If you were to protect one vulnerable worker from the objective of any humiliating or degrading treatment, would that not be the type of accomplishment this might achieve?
