So elsewhere, where it is profitable.
Ms. Fowlie, on page 11 of your document, in your message as executive vice-president of the Canadian Horticultural Council, you say:
An even more devastating blow was the mid-November announcement that Heinz would be closing its Leamington, ON facility in 2014, putting 740 full-time workers out of work. It has been estimated that for every job in the plant, there were 2.5 to four jobs created outside of the plant.
This is a very significant job loss. That business closed its doors after being in operation for 104 years.
What happened to the agricultural producers? I have been an agricultural producer. I grew small cucumbers for a company I won't name that also saw that it would be cheaper and more profitable to have their crop grown outside Canada.
Quebec producers—I am, indeed, from Quebec, from the Joliette region, which is my constituency—this entire agriculture industry was lost and, as a result, so were student summer jobs and the transformation that was occurring in the region.
What happened to all these producers? How did they reorient themselves?
