Yes, absolutely, the temporary foreign worker program is something we can fix. It has its flaws and problems. We absolutely are in favour of immigration. We need more people coming to Canada to work with us and get jobs, but we need them to come as permanent citizens. We lose that ability under the TPP. There are provisions in there that don't give them even the base protections that we grant temporary foreign workers, and they limit our ability to grant them those down the road, because once we enter this deal we're signed on. It will be an across-the-board immutable program that's in place, so it's a very big concern of the labour movement.
