Yes. Here is something that I think Canada could do unilaterally that has nothing to do with free trade agreements or anything else. It's something we've advocated for awhile.
We tend to get caught up in tying temporary foreign workers to people who are coming into the country and adding value. For example, someone coming in to do R and D work or repair a machine or equipment at a manufacturing plant tends to get caught up in the temporary foreign worker program, which really isn't what it was designed for in the first place. We should have visa-free entry for anyone coming in to add value to Canada's economy. It makes no sense at all that at the border we will stop someone coming in.
I've even heard of stories of presidents of companies coming into the country saying, I want to make an investment. That's what they're talking about in the boardroom. When they get to the border, they're told no, sorry, you're here to steal Canadian jobs. Here's someone trying to come in to invest in Canada.
There's too much of that at our borders. It's great to talk about what other people do, and we like to point the finger especially at the U.S. these days for blocking people going into the U.S.. This is a Canadian problem as well, and it's something we could do quite easily: exempt people from those requirements. Yes, have the right controls in place to make sure there are no people coming in and stealing jobs and things like that, but for the big bulk of people coming in, that's not what they're doing. They're actually adding value and employing Canadians.
