Finance committee  Well, I'm here because of the issue I'm here for. We are here to support tougher sanctions and more blacklisting. Let's see some of these fingers actually get slapped, so that they don't do it again. That's what I'm here to support.

Finance committee  Thank you.

Finance committee  Well, we're not sure of that. We all got a formal written notice of discharge saying that they were discharging all staff. At the time, they said the contract workers would get a different letter later. This is one of our questions for Mr. Kenney, because if we were all discharged—and as the letter stated, “all staff have been discharged and we will interview those we want to come back and work for us”—and the employer fired or laid off temporary foreign workers, Service Canada would need to be notified.

Finance committee  Absolutely. You're right. We can't get that information on who is on contract and who is not. All I would like to say to his question is that if he's saying there are only two or three or it doesn't matter, they still have their jobs. Ms. Nelson and I do not.

Finance committee  I do not know what it is in particular.

Finance committee  Thank you.

Finance committee  Yes.

Finance committee  Not in so many words, but they made it obvious that the offer was not there anymore.

Finance committee  It doesn't give us a whole lot of confidence. It took a lot of thinking and courage to finally come out and do what we did, not just for ourselves, but for all Canadians who find themselves in this position. We are very disappointed that we're not worth the time or the effort of this government to stand behind their words, get this investigation going, and stand up for us.

Finance committee  Thank you.

Finance committee  No.

Finance committee  There would be six, I believe. They're either on contract or landed immigrant.

Finance committee  No.

Finance committee  There are three Canadians part-time, we believe, and the rest who are employed there are—

Finance committee  No.
