Mr. Speaker, an entrepreneur in my riding, Tony Ouellet, president of Feuillages du Québec, relies on temporary foreign workers to run his business. Unfortunately, only one of the three workers he hired has arrived. Nothing is happening at Immigration Canada with respect to the other two. Many planting contracts must be completed by June 15, which is in two weeks, or he will have to pay severe penalties. Why should Mr. Ouellet pay for this government's failures and mistakes?

Mr. Speaker, I am speaking today for the 20th time abut the government's incompetence on immigration and the temporary foreign worker program. Two businesses in my riding called me just this past weekend to tell me that they still do not have the workers they need, who should have already arrived. These landscapers and manufacturers are losing contracts. When will the government take this issue seriously and help these businesses grow instead of pushing them towards bankruptcy?
