In your presentation, you also talked about the issue of employees who have a visa linked to one employer and who might change employers along the way. The testimony heard to date indicates that dealings with an unscrupulous employer complicate matters extremely and are one of the causes of discrimination and problems that may arise. The fact that an employee's livelihood in Canada depends entirely on the employment relationship with that person means that the employer has incredible power over that employee.
I've often asked people, union representatives, refugee advocacy organizations and organizations representing the industry, whether we shouldn't abolish this provision in order to remove a little power from an unscrupulous employer with regard to his employees. Most answered yes, but you are the first one to correctly point out that the problem with employers is that there are costs associated with recruiting foreign workers.
If I understand correctly, you would be in favour of an employee being able to change jobs easily, provided the new employer paid its fair share of the initial costs incurred to bring in that employee.
