Madam Speaker, I believe the temporary foreign worker program has been so destroyed by the Liberal government that the only way forward is to abolish it. I am very clear, especially as the member of Parliament for a lot of rural constituents and farmers, there needs to be a stand-alone stream for temporary labour for the agricultural sector. That is important and it is part of a long-standing initiative in Canada that has been working. However, having temporary foreign workers fill jobs in fast food and hospitality, which is forcing youth out of the job market, is not what the program is for and it has to stop immediately.
