Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses.
Mr. Ballingall, my brother Luc says hello and wishes you a happy birthday. He worked at your ski centre for seven years and my sister has a chalet there. I really understand what you are saying.
Two weeks ago, I went to Banff and Jasper and met some young people who had been there for two years. They were from Australia and elsewhere, from other countries and Canadian provinces. Younger people are of course more inclined to travel and more likely to work in situations like that or in western Canada. In contrast to what the industry said, they said it was relatively easy to get work permits with two-year temporary visas to come and work in the industry.
Would you agree that we should look at the possibility of increasing the duration beyond two years so they could stay longer?
