CIMM Committee Report

The Committee could not have completed its study on temporary foreign workers and non-status workers without the cooperation and support of numerous people.  In particular, the Chair and members of the Committee extend their thanks to the many witnesses who shared their concerns and ideas in this joint effort to improve how Canada manages workers from abroad.

In addition, the Committee wishes to acknowledge the work and support of Penny Becklumb, an analyst at the Library of Parliament who contributed significantly to early drafts of the report; Sandra Elgersma and Daniel Thompson, analysts currently with the Library of Parliament who provided significant support; and Denyse Croteau and Maxime Ricard of the Committees Directorate who saw to the logical evolution and steady support of the Committee's study plan.

The Committee would also like to thank the translation and interpretation staff of the Department of Public Works and Government Services, and the support services of the House of Commons Committee Directorate.

Finally, the Chair wishes to thank the members of the Committee and their predecessors for the hours they dedicated to study this important issue to prepare this report.
