Quebec has its own labour market ecosystem. It was developed by the Quebec government, the Conseil du patronat du Québec, the export manufacturers and the various labour market sector committees.
Labour market research is carried out. From your remarks, I'm realizing that other provinces could do the same thing. For employers who rely on foreign workers, having to apply for a labour market impact assessment is a cumbersome process. Mr. Dong talked about that.
Businesses have to wait months before they get the labour they need. In many cases, they have spent tens of thousands of dollars to bring the workers here.
I think your organization could seize this opportunity to bolster its mandate. If labour market needs could be identified quickly, perhaps it would help reduce wait times.
There is a consensus around the labour shortage. If the government wanted to take direct action, you could provide the government with recommendations swiftly.
