Mr. Speaker, I am going to pick up on the member's ideas and thoughts in regard to the temporary foreign worker program.
We need to recognize that it is a program that when properly managed, actually assists Canada's economy. It builds and supports certain industries and so forth.
However, we do need to recognize the mismanagement. My colleague and I were at the immigration committee, where we have had discussions in the past. We need to emphasize that in the last couple of years we have seen skyrocketing numbers of temporary foreign workers. No doubt that has had an impact, but it is the management of the program that has created the crisis, to the degree that over the last few years, the program has been constantly surrounded by issues.
The program itself, managed properly, does wonders for our country, but not when it is mismanaged. Does the member concur with my thoughts in regard to the management of the program itself?
