Certainly, we did say in the report, for example in paragraph 5.98, that we found the department did not know whether the program was having unintended consequences such as suppressing wages, allowing businesses to rely on foreign workers instead of hiring Canadians, or discouraging capital investment and innovation. That's one place where we said that the department needed to be doing a better job of actually understanding what the impact of the program was.
We also identified that the department was not using all of the information that it had available in order to assess whether there really were labour market shortages.
We also pointed out, in paragraph 5.59—and I think this is going to be something that will be interesting to keep an eye on—that in 2014, the Department of Employment and Social Development and Statistics Canada started developing a survey to collect information on job vacancies and wages. The department expected the survey to provide it with information that it could use to assess labour markets when considering applications to the program. They're spending quite a bit of money on this; at the time of the audit, it was estimated to be $14 million a year to identify that type of information. Hopefully, they will be able to use that information to get a better sense of where there may be those labour market shortages.
