We're already facing—and hearing from our members—a shortage of refrigerant mechanics needed to install heat pumps. Vancouver is facing this shortage. Our contractors are having to go to the U.S. to find people who can come up and assist in achieving this. They have had to send them to the U.S. for training. We've had industrial contractors in Sarnia who have had to go to the U.S. to find industrial mechanics to come up and work.
In the foreign worker program, there is a lot of red tape, as you all well know. By the time they get through the process—let's say it's six to eight weeks when they get the interviews—the people who get processed to come to Canada have moved on and are now working elsewhere, in the U.S.
If we can somehow address the temporary foreign worker program and speed up that process.... MC Canada belongs to an international alliance group with MC of America, Australia and England. Everybody is facing the same issues. We're working closely together to try and deal with some of this red tape as well.
