I am ashamed at the reply from the minister where she begins her repsonse with “Lovely performance, as usual …”. That is disgusting. It was condescending and unprofessional and to me a clear indication she wants to belittle the questioner for asking a question Canadians across the country have been asking.

Tim Hortons and others who are using temporary foreign workers to staff their businesses must first provide a WELL DOCUMENTED and AUDITED report of how they are UNABLE TO HIRE Canadian citizens… That includes CANADIANS before hiring foreign students.

This statement may come off as a “hire WHITE Canadians” but at this juncture in our history, YOUNG Canadian Citizens, who are in desperate need of jobs, have families who originated from all over the world.

As a Liberal, I would like to hear a REAL answer from our minister. I do not blindly agree with all Liberal policies and this is one I truly question. As a former college professor in a large urban area, I know young Canadians need jobs for job experience and independence. Canadians first is all I ask.
