Mr. Speaker, we are very firmly of the belief that Canadians must have first crack at all job opportunities in this country. That is why we brought in programs to help them identify what jobs are available in their skill ranges and areas. We have a whole program to connect Canadians with jobs. We are also looking at the temporary foreign worker program to make sure that it does uphold our values. However, while we are trying to help Canadians get to work, the NDP keeps voting against everything that we are trying to do.
