I am afraid to disappoint the member by saying that we never have, Mr. Speaker.
In all of my speeches and comments on the issue of labour market information, I have said the following: that our LMI system is inadequate, we need better information; that the Statistics Canada data does not support the contention of general labour shortages; that if there were general labour shortages, as some business organizations claim, then wage rates would have gone up faster than inflation since the global downturn, and they have not. However, we cannot ignore the data being supplied by many industry organizations and sector councils, which indicate very acute skills shortages in particular regions and sectors.
Those are the facts reflected by the New Democrats, who come over here asking me to bring temporary foreign workers into their ridings every single day.
