Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses.
Just so you know, I'm the member for Lac‑Saint‑Jean, a riding in northern Quebec, which is very agricultural and very rural. Many of my friends are agricultural producers, and they're asking themselves questions right now.
The vast majority of producers who participate in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program under closed permits are honest people. That's why, when they see a news story on TV about a case of abuse, they feel unfairly targeted. Indeed, it reflects poorly on them when they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
That's what I took from what you said, Mr. Possberg. I think you felt attacked, among other things, by the words of the UN Special Rapporteur.
Did I understand your feeling correctly?
