That is a very good question, sir.
I think that all Canadians have a responsibility when it comes to this.
I have had numerous discussions with people. We realize that foreign workers do not have the same work culture in their countries of origin as Canadian workers have.
What we want is for the foreign workers who come to work in Canada to adopt the same work culture as Canadian workers.
They have to be informed and be told that if there is a problem, they have to talk to their boss, to tell them about the things that are not working, in their housing or on the job.
We encourage foreign workers to act like Quebec and Canadian workers, and that is done through education. We all have a responsibility and a role to play to encourage foreign workers to voice their fears of being deported, of not being respected, and of not achieving their financial objectives.
When a foreign worker reports a problem to us, we give them the information they need. If it is not working out in their workplace, the UPA and our partners in Quebec will make every effort to find another farm to transfer the worker to, entirely legally.
As Mr. Doyon said, the process for obtaining a second work permit is a bit long. That is why we are calling for a form of open and sectoral work permits for agricultural workers, who come primarily from Guatemala, under the agricultural component of the temporary foreign workers program.
