But there hasn't been any analysis at what wage somebody would go off EI and work at the plant. Is that correct?
The point I'm trying to make is that the TFW program is a market intervention by government that depresses wages. The Auditor General's findings go to this point.
I'm an Albertan. I've seen this problem. I've had Tim Hortons store owners in my office yelling at me saying that we shouldn't have made the changes to the program, yet I still have this position.
I'm wondering if your department has done any analysis or has any economists working for you who are looking not at what the prevailing wage is but what the actual wage would be that would get somebody off EI and go to work in a certain sector.
