If I understand you correctly, you are also talking about a problem with processing times for foreign worker applications. I don't know if we can establish this conclusively, but there are few businesses in the marine sector in my riding, even though it includes the St. Lawrence River shoreline. However, my office gets calls from many agricultural and industrial businesses that are desperate, because they are trying to get foreign workers and it takes forever. By the time these businesses get the green light to bring the workers over, those workers have found jobs elsewhere and no longer want to come.
Do you believe that the timelines for processing files in the federal system are a problem?
