Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for this important question. As I mentioned a week ago, Service Canada will accept claims from those affected by the wildfires. They can apply even if they do not have a record of employment. They can access employment insurance. We will do everything we can to ensure that these workers receive EI.

Mr. Speaker, we are collaborating with workers, unions, organizations and businesses in order to introduce reforms to the EI system.

Mr. Speaker, we know that the temporary foreign worker program is vital to the Canadian economy. Employers should be able to get decisions regarding workers' contracts. That is why we are taking additional measures to address the labour shortage. We are moving the cap on low-wage positions for employers in seasonal industries. We are extending LMIA validity from nine to 18 months, and we are expanding flexibility for LMIA applications in low-wage occupations. We are also increasing the maximum employment duration for high-wage and global talent streams from two to three years. We will continue collaborating with employers to ensure—
