- Resumen
On March 11, 1997 the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration began a study of Canada's foreign worker policy, focusing in particular on the needs of the information technology (IT) industry. Over the course of five meetings, the Committee heard testimony from officials from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Human Resources Development Canada, and Industry Canada and from a number of private sector witnesses. The latter included several IT umbrella groups, representatives of individual companies experiencing a shortage of skilled workers, and a representative of an association of IT professional employees. In addition, the Committee heard from an immigration agency and immigration lawyers specializing in facilitating the movement of skilled workers into Canada. (A complete witness list may be found as an appendix to this report.)
