Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 82 words they are talking from both sides of the Conservative mouth. On one side, we have people saying, “no immigration”. On the other side, they are saying that there are great employers in need of workers that could benefit from the temporary foreign worker program. Off point We believe in being there for Canadian workers first and for Canadian companies that are seeking talent. Vague promise We have the balance right. Partly on point Maybe the Conservatives should stop weaponizing immigration for those great hard-working companies they say they support. Positioning Off point
