Thank you, Mr. Chair

I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here with us this afternoon.

My first question is for Mr. Vielfaure.

Mr. Vielfaure, you spoke at length about problems related to the shortage of food processing workers. You even mentioned a rate of 10%. I imagine that some of these workers would have to be more skilled.

How are you planning to solve the problem? What role might the federal government play?
