Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses.
You have touched on many interesting topics. Each of you focused in particular on the importance of having a national energy strategy. We will certainly be getting back to this issue during our questions.
I'd like to start with you, Mr. Telford, because I'm a big fan of the building trades and I work with them a lot in British Columbia. The B.C. building trades tell me that they're very concerned about the rampant abuse taking place in the temporary foreign worker program. A lot of folks, including people in the building trades, are being displaced because the government is allowing pretty well any application for temporary foreign workers coming in.
Do you share the concerns that I'm hearing from the building trades in British Columbia about the abuse and the lack of any sort of oversight of the temporary foreign worker program?
