I am sorry to interrupt you, Minister, but time is running out.
You are talking about the agricultural sector, and we know that special efforts have been made in that area. However, I am also talking about sectors that the federal government sometimes does not consider essential, but that Quebec does. I am talking about people who have contracts with the Quebec Department of Transport, people who manufacture essential equipment for Quebec hospitals in sewing factories. I am thinking in particular of Textiles Patlin, in Saint-Paulin, in my riding, which makes curtains for hospitals and cannot the workers it needs. What do we say to these companies that have sometimes paid LMIAs for nothing?
Will there be compensation for the costs of LMIAs that do not result in the issuance of work permits?
These employers don't want compensation, they want employees. We really need to speed up the processing of claims.
