My next question is about closed work permits. Some people have stated that they are problematic, especially in terms of labour mobility.
I have an example that illustrates this perfectly. In my riding, when a farmer falls victim to a climate catastrophe and no longer needs his workers, he can't allow them to work on the neighbouring farm, even though that farmer might need those workers to save his crop.
In 2016, the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities recommended abolishing closed work permits and encouraging the use of LMIAs. The committee recommended the use of work permits for certain industries or geographical regions. If there was a huge labour shortage in a given region, the person who had obtained a LMIA would not be required to obtain a closed work permit. Mobility would be enhanced.
What has happened with this recommendation? Is there a willingness to review the need for closed work permits?
