Excuse me, I'm just going to cut in because I don't have much time left, Mr. Lacey.
In terms of the temporary foreign worker program, we'd be better off to drop the “temporary” and just have a foreign worker program where there is a path to citizenship, and also help those who don't.... Eleven dollars an hour is not very much money to live on, I agree 100%, but so many people in my communities also focus on the opportunities for skills development and are looking forward to that.
If we look at manufacturing, it has doubled since the signing of NAFTA, but technology has increased exponentially, and we've not kept up with that. I know many people in my area are looking at opportunities that are technology-based, less so in filling positions on food-processing lines. In the meantime, we still have to help our companies move forward, and we have to help our schools expand, our communities stay alive and grow.
Thank you.
