"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2997031\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997032\" data-originallang=\"en\">And witnesses, thank you for coming here this morning.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997033\" data-originallang=\"en\">Before I get to my questions, I need to make a comment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997034\" data-originallang=\"en\">To an extent, I agree there was some abuse of these foreign workers. That is why our government has taken action. We have created a process to be notified of the abuse. Employers who abuse foreign workers are blacklisted and are not allowed to have any more LMOs, etc. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997035\" data-originallang=\"en\">But coming back to my question, we are studying the shortage of skilled workers, whether high-skilled or low-skilled. That is a fact. I want to thank both you and your industry for creating all the jobs. I noticed that both companies have jobs posted on their websites. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997036\" data-originallang=\"en\">Has this kind of shortage been consistent for some time, or do you anticipate the end of this requirement, considering the circumstances and availability of employees?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997037\" data-originallang=\"en\">But before that, and before I ask Mr. Taylor a question, Mr. Salkeld, you made a comment toward the end of your presentation, if I heard it correctly, that the required skills are there, but there is not a willingness to accept some jobs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997038\" data-originallang=\"en\">Am I correct? Can you elaborate on why there is no willingness? </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2997031\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997032\" data-originallang=\"en\">Et merci aux t\u00e9moins d'\u00eatre venus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997033\" data-originallang=\"en\">Avant de passer aux questions, je dois faire un commentaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997034\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans une certaine mesure, j'admets que ces travailleurs \u00e9trangers ont \u00e9t\u00e9 maltrait\u00e9s. C'est pourquoi notre gouvernement a pris des mesures. Nous avons mis en place un processus destin\u00e9 \u00e0 documenter les mauvais traitements. Les employeurs qui maltraitent les travailleurs \u00e9trangers figurent sur une liste noire et ne sont plus autoris\u00e9s \u00e0 demander des avis relatifs au march\u00e9 du travail, etc.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997035\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mais pour en revenir \u00e0 ma question, nous \u00e9tudions les p\u00e9nuries de travailleurs, qu'ils occupent des emplois sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s ou peu sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s. C'est un fait. Je tiens \u00e0 vous remercier tous les deux, ainsi que votre industrie, pour tous les emplois que vous cr\u00e9ez. J'ai d'ailleurs remarqu\u00e9 que les deux compagnies diffusent des offres d'emploi sur leur site Web.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997036\" data-originallang=\"en\">Est-ce que cette p\u00e9nurie perdure, ou en pr\u00e9voyez-vous la fin, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 les circonstances et la disponibilit\u00e9 des employ\u00e9s?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997037\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mais avant cela et avant de poser une question \u00e0 M. Taylor, si j'ai bien compris, monsieur Salkeld, vous avez indiqu\u00e9 \u00e0 la fin de votre expos\u00e9 que les comp\u00e9tences n\u00e9cessaires sont l\u00e0, mais que l'on est pas pr\u00eat \u00e0 accepter certains emplois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2997038\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ai-je raison? Pouvez-vous \u00e9laborer sur les raisons de ce manque de volont\u00e9?</p>"
