The problem is simple: these Austrian workers are doing work on the construction site that is usually done by industrial mechanics from Quebec. The labour market impact assessment in this case is problematic or non-existent, unless the foreign workers obtained entrepreneur visas in order to get around the law.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4129645\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Can the <a data-HoCid=\"209149\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Minister of Employment and Social Development</a> tell us whether these workers are here under the temporary foreign worker program or the entrepreneur visa program, and whether he intends to address this matter quickly?</p>",
