    Ottawa rules out amnesty for illegal immigrants From CANADIAN PRESS
    Jim Murphy of the Greater Toronto Home Builders Association, said the problem of illegals exists across the country but is a 'huge issue' for builders in the region.

    'If we didn't have them, we wouldn't be able to build houses,' said Murphy.

    Carlos Pimentel, an organizer with the carpenters' union, said the current system 'fuels the underground economy' and has to be addressed given that there are as many as 13,000 skilled construction workers who lack status.
