Yes. I presented that the program started in 1981 and was changed in 1992. There are four pillars in this program that we really have to look at.
The first one is the mandatory live-in. You have a specific employer, and you have to work 24 months within a three-year period.
Another pillar is the temporary status. I think it's really important to look at this issue and, if they are important, the economic activities here in Canada, the labour market, and why the income is not the same as the income for those with permanent resident status.
Those nurses who are under this program should also be qualified as nurses instead of being recruited through the live-in caregiver program. They should come as nurses. In 1993 nurses were no longer given occupational points, meaning it's not an important profession for coming into Canada. That was taken away.
Because they're here working as live-in caregivers, they should be streamed away from this program and provided with training. Those who are able to go back to their professions should be given the opportunity to go back to their professions.
