Yes, absolutely. That is an option to explore. There could even be a pilot project to see whether or not it could work.
There's no reason why we can't think outside the box, particularly in the field of immigration, and take risks. Our employers in Canada are nimble, swift and competitive globally, and if they need someone, they're going to get them.
Don't forget: You cannot come to this country as a foreign worker unless you've already demonstrated there's no one available, qualified and willing to do the job. As well, we have exemptions. They're manifest. These are people who we cannot find here in Canada, and there's competition for this human capital globally. Why do we put up barriers to these businesses and to certain provinces when this is the energy that drives the economy, that creates paid taxes, that grows our businesses and that supports our families?
You're absolutely right.
