Canadians have a great deal of confidence in the auditor's office.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3686513\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yesterday the deputy leader of the Liberal Party emphasized how important it was for Canada's Auditor General to investigate the temporary foreign worker program. There is a need to restore public confidence in the temporary foreign worker program.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3686514\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am wondering if the member could emphasize the importance of the program and the way it was originally designed, back when we had Prime Minister Trudeau, in the seventies.
