Madam Speaker, one minute can be a lot, but not in comparison with the time we could have spent answering questions if it were not for the time allocation motion.
I want to thank my colleague for his excellent work on the foreign workers file and the labour shortage in agriculture.
We would like to make things easier for those who want to come work in Canada. We want to simplify the process. However, there are rules to follow. Illegal border crossings create a backlog in the system and make it very hard to find labourers and ensure that those who want to come here to work have access to the officials they need when they need them. It is almost impossible.
There are solutions, but unfortunately we will be unable to propose any today because the government decided to cut off our speaking time.
