Mr. Speaker, temporary foreign workers make up less than 1% of our total workforce. In fact, this is a program where employers must demonstrate that they vigorously and actively looked for Canadian workers because Canadian workers come first.
If an employer is found to have violated this program, there are severe penalties. There is also a tip line so that if any Canadian or any member of Parliament feels there has been an abuse, this can be reported to officials and it will be investigated.
