I agree that the investment in the infrastructure is essential. Is there an opportunity to access funding that can support the development of the housing and the development of the tools that can provide education to the workers when they are here in Canada?
The bigger piece around all this is that we have multiple generations of workers within the produce sector—and I can only talk to the produce sector—who have come from the Caribbean, as an example, and who are experts in their field. Whether it's greenhouse, field, or orchard, they are coming in, and to replace their expertise is very difficult. By replacing it you remove efficiencies, because you're now retraining.
How do we enable and create the stream, recognizing that it wouldn't necessarily be under the purview of the agriculture framework? A stream to becoming a Canadian, for many of these workers, is important. How do we incorporate that model, so that we not only build a better community for them at the grower level with infrastructure, which the agriculture framework can support, but also look at the stream whereby after many years of investment—and truly, they are Canadian in many ways—they become truly Canadian and are part of the broader community year-round?
