Mr. Speaker, unemployment is a problem in our country, and as the member indicated, in his part of Ontario, it is a really significant problem. To me, this raises an important issue. Why is the government continuing to bring temporary foreign workers into this country? Why do we keep bringing more workers into this country? We have a lot of capacity for jobs. Our youth unemployment rates are even higher than the numbers he mentioned. They are up to close to 15%, yet the government is not putting forward programs to help with that. Instead, it is doing the easy solution, which is bringing in low-cost labour from overseas.
