You were here only for 14 days. I get that.
Can you put a numeric figure to this claim? You said that.... We looked at that, but I guess you weren't able to put a number to those you'd met.
I'd like to go back to the employers in Canada and why it was so important to meet some of these fishermen and the farmers. You mentioned that there are other industries that you felt had this form of slavery involved here in this country as well.
Employers in Canada who take on temporary foreign workers are required to fill out a labour market impact assessment. They're also required, in many cases, to pay for the transportation to and from Canada of these individuals, and they have to provide proper housing. All of this comes at a significant financial and time cost to the employers.
Now, if we're going to go with the suggestion that you're making in regard to open contracts, why would these individuals even go this route with the investment that they've made? We already have situations where, if the employee isn't happy, they can go to another employer.
Can you give me an answer as to how many farmers you've personally interviewed in your investigation in regard to that?
