Thank you for highlighting that.
You understand that lobbyists have money. They can lobby pretty hard because they're being paid to lobby the government. They have objectives that are not necessarily the same objectives we should have here in Parliament or that you should have in your department: bring in labour, lower costs and find cheaper labour. When we bring in these folks, they take jobs from Canadians. Canadian youth don't have that kind of money.
Do you think it's right for lobbyists to even speak with IRCC officials? I believe it's totally wrong.
If you really want to know what's happening on the ground, meet with Canadians or have a bipartisan meeting with all parliamentarians to be more informed about what we're hearing from Canadians in our offices every single day, including—I might add—over last weekend when I was back home. There's a lot of information that would be very useful for you. We're not paid by lobbyists or representing lobbyists. Lobbyists are representing people who want to reduce their costs.
