Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Employment's catastrophic management of the temporary foreign worker program made these abuses possible.
The Conservatives ignored the fact that Canadian workers were being replaced by cheap foreign workers. They deliberately did not seek out valuable information about the state of the labour market, and that led to an inaccurate assessment of needs.
Why should we trust them to fix the temporary foreign worker program? After all, it was on their watch that the program went off the rails.
