Madam Speaker, the motion before us today has to do with the prayer that is read at the start of every sitting of the House of Commons. Earlier, the member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie spoke about the problems with the employment insurance system, which, unfortunately, seems to be designed on a hope and a prayer instead of on effective public administration principles. What does my colleague from New Westminster—Burnaby think about that?

Mr. Speaker, we recognize that, once again, temporary foreign workers are vital to the Canadian economy. That is why as part of the workforce solutions road map, we will eliminate the limit on low-wage positions for seasonal employers, extend LMIA validity for low-wage occupations, and extend the maximum duration of employment for the high-wage and global talent streams from two years to three years.
