Human Resources committee I think all of us would agree we're playing catch-up on the sharing economy. It's just grown so much faster than I think any of us would have expected.

Human Resources committee Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the great answers and input from our witnesses. You can see that the issue we face has a lot of different nuances, as Mr. Fong said. Ms. Moreau, I want to ask you a bit about one of the slides you had about the transition. You were

Human Resources committee Minister, can you answer the question, please? We have a limited amount of time, and I don't need your history lesson on the temporary foreign worker program. I know it very well.

John Barlow
Human Resources committee I'm just asking you how the funds are going to be allocated. I've spoken to employers across the country on this. Absolutely, the temporary foreign worker program is a difficult one, but I haven't had any of them complain to me about some of the things that you're talking about.

Human Resources committee Are you going to answer the question or not? Just say you don't know. Just say you don't know if you don't know.
March 19th, 2019Committee meeting
John Barlow
Human Resources committee Thank you very much, Minister, for finally getting to the answer to that.

John Barlow
Human Resources committee Thanks very much, Mr. Chair. Thanks, Minister, for coming back at our request. It's certainly much appreciated, taking the chance to answer some questions about the budget and supplementary estimates. I want to ask about the temporary foreign worker problem, which kind of ties

Human Resources committee Come on, Rodger, just tell us what it is.
March 19th, 2019Committee meeting
John Barlow
Human Resources committee As part of what you're talking about as a trusted employer program, once they are in, they would no longer have to do an LMIA or pay that $1,000 fee. Is that...?

John Barlow
Human Resources committee Okay, great. The immigration minister recently announced an additional 2,000 positions through the provincial nominee program. I'll open this to whomever. My feeling is that even with the Atlantic pilot project, we've nibbled at the edges of this thing for long enough. We know

John Barlow
Human Resources committee Thanks, Bill. I don't want to cut you off, but I have just a little under a minute left and I wanted to ask Mark too. I'll let you answer that question also, but I'm going to ask you both this question at the same time, so that I get my question in.
