“We are balancing the need for workers with the temporary foreign worker program. This balance is working in rural areas and in Quebec. The member's colleagues from Quebec say they need more temporary foreign workers.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think there is a balance to be struck, and we are striking that balance between labour needs and the temporary foreign worker program. I would simply urge my colleague to repeat his question in French, because what I am hearing from his Quebec colleagues is that more temporary foreign workers are needed. That balance is being struck specifically in rural areas and in Quebec to meet labour needs across the country.”
