“I meet with union leaders all the time. These foreign worker jobs fill needed labour gaps, especially in rural areas. The minister has also added strict rules to the program.”
“Mr. Chair, actually, I met with union leaders when I went to Sudbury a few months ago. I also meet with union leaders all the time. It is part of what I do. I think we all do that. The important thing here is that these jobs are to fill labour gaps. They are for work in rural communities, in communities where these jobs are needed. There are extreme measures that the Minister of Employment and Workforce has taken to tighten those measures.”
