“Use of the temporary foreign worker program is down by half this year and makes up under one percent of our workforce. We are still committed to making sure employment insurance helps workers across the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would just like to make sure the member opposite knows that our temporary foreign worker program use is down 50% in 2025 and makes up less than 1% of our workforce. In terms of ensuring that our EI program tackles the needs of all communities across the country, that is something that our government remains committed to, especially at a time when our EI program is so essential to Canadian workers right across the country.”

“We are working with the Quebec government on temporary foreign workers. We know Quebec needs more workers to fill job openings.”

“Mr. Speaker, we continue to engage with the Quebec government concerning temporary foreign workers. We know how much the regions of Quebec need workers. Nothing is sadder than an order going unfilled because of a shortage of workers. We are keenly aware of the situation described by my Bloc Québécois colleague, and we continue to engage with the Government of Quebec on this matter.”
