Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to the witnesses for being here today. I appreciate the expertise that you bring to this.
We talked about the federal government's having an obligation to make sure that migrant workers and live-in caregivers are better protected. I've read through some of your material. You have advocated that there be health and safety coverage, better housing standards, minimum wage, the right to collective bargaining, a complete orientation, and overtime--at least time and a half--for those people compelled to work beyond the normal work week. Could you comment on that? In addition, I understand you are calling for landed status for migrant workers.
Are these important components that must be there if we're going to do the job right?
