Mr. Speaker, there is an ongoing investigation into those particular allegations. I know this is a peculiar concept for the NDP, but under natural justice, one is presumed innocent until proven guilty. We do not sanction anyone unless and until there is a fair process to determine that they have violated the rules.
If they have violated the rules, they would be blacklisted and unable to use the program in the future. If employers lie on their applications to bring in temporary foreign workers, they may commit fraud, which is a criminal offence under the immigration act, punishable with up to five years in jail or $100,000 in fines.
