Thank you.
I think you're raising a valid issue. It's one that in Saskatchewan I don't think we've seen yet. Saskatchewan's economic boom is a fairly recent phenomenon. When we look to our neighbours to the west who have been experiencing the kinds of labour shortages that we're seeing now for a longer period of time and have used the temporary foreign worker program in a much more significant way than has occurred here, we see there is significant evidence that there have been serious problems.
As I mentioned earlier, we do need to recognize that temporary foreign workers are particularly vulnerable because they don't have the ability to move in the labour market like other Canadians and other residents of Canada. They're tied to a specific job. I would see three ways that you could deal with that.
One is simply through information to the worker. If we can find better ways to work with Citizenship and Immigration Canada and with Service Canada to get out that information about labour standards in Saskatchewan, for instance, that may help alleviate some of the issues. They need to know what their rights are--what they should be paid, what kinds of hours they should be working, what kinds of working conditions should be offered to them by their employer. The problem is that we're not part of the system that gets them to Saskatchewan, so we need to find mechanisms to be able to get that information to them. They come through the federal system, and we don't hear from them until they show up on the doorstep of the labour standards people in Saskatchewan.
