Thank you.
In the last few weeks we've been watching several witnesses, and I've identified two problems. We have one problem of competency, which you've both spoken about today. That's more to do with IRB hearings, tribunals, appeal divisions. For that I think an increased level of education, increased training, is probably the answer.
The second problem we have is fraudulent dealings, charging $10,000, $20,000, $30,000 for LMIAs to say you're going to get a job, to bring somebody in. Those types of things are the ones that concern me the absolute most. The problem we have is ICCRC, even in its second formation as it is now—and we have had them here—doesn't seem to think there's a problem. It doesn't seem to think that any additional rules or regulations are needed. The model of the self-regulatory body does not seem to work for them.
What are your recommendations to prevent fraudulent practices, i.e., buying, selling LMIAs, etc., in this area, and how do you see a model that would effectively work similar to the law society for lawyers? With the law society, you get a complaint and it brings fear into a lawyer's mind, or at least a high level of concern. Therefore, the fraudulent practice levels among lawyers is very low. What we're seeing here and heard from the witnesses we've seen here is that it's very high in ICCRC. How do you two recommend they bridge that gap?
I'll start with Mr. Sharma.
