I'd like to dig a little bit further into chapter 19, because last week we had the IBEW, the building trades, here. They expressed to us the view that for previous trade deals, they wouldn't even have been sitting here, because this has never been part of a trade negotiation.
We know there are many abuses of the TFW program and that the program is extremely broken. As a matter of fact, there's another committee studying it in Parliament right now. By all accounts, in this chapter we're looking at the TFW program with absolutely no rules around it, with what I like to call the “roof blown off”. We know that 58,000 jobs will be lost in Canada under the TPP. That doesn't include the influx that we would have due to the labour mobility chapter.
I'd like to offer my time to Mr. Shrybman.
We received a report from you earlier this year, through the Alberta Federation of Labour, which really opened our eyes to the labour mobility chapter. So I'd like to give you some space to continue what you were saying around chapters 12 and 19, if you can elaborate on that.
