Mr. Speaker, I guess the Liberals just flip-flopped with that question.
We have been very clear that abuses will not be tolerated, but neither will aspects of the program that might have the effect of distorting the Canadian labour market. We need to be absolutely sure that employers are always, and everywhere, giving Canadians the first crack at available jobs.
That may well mean that some of the member's business constituents should be increasing wage rates, improving working conditions, investing more in training, and doing more to hire Canadians first. That is what they should be doing.
