We didn't identify it as an abuse of the program. There may be many different reasons why a Canadian worker might decide not to take a job that's available. We identified it as an indication that the department should be looking into these cases to try to find out how there can be Canadian workers with experience in a particular industry collecting employment insurance at the same time that employers are hiring temporary foreign workers. Really, we couldn't get any further down than just that indication. It's the role of the department to get further down into it.
