Mr. Speaker, the government's policy is that Canadians must always have access to jobs before foreign workers.
Having said that, I note that the member for Markham—Unionville just today said that the temporary foreign worker program “is a good program” and he actually criticized our moratorium on the food services sector because apparently he knows a restauranteur who cannot find cooks in Canada. According to that member, whose judgment is better than that of people at Service Canada, we should be bringing in cooks from abroad, overturning the moratorium.
Where do the Liberals really stand on the temporary foreign worker program?
