Madam Speaker, I wonder if the member opposite understands how the temporary foreign worker program works.
I will ask my question in French, since it is my first language.
The last time the program was reviewed was under the Harper government, and we are still following the same procedures. Does the member know how the program works? Is she aware, for example, that employers have to pay a lot of money, and that the process for bringing people in is very rigorous? Or is she suggesting that business people and businesses are actually choosing to pay more to individuals who are less qualified in order to avoid giving jobs to young Canadians? It seems to me that that is what I am hearing.
I am also wondering whether the member had a chance to speak with business owners in her riding over the summer. We visited businesses in our ridings, and I can say that temporary foreign workers are here to fill the gaps in our industries. They are not here to steal jobs from young Canadian workers.
