Yes. I would like to reassure our producers that we're working extremely hard to make sure that all the temporary foreign workers we need will arrive in Canada safely and in a timely manner. We are in advance in terms of numbers now compared to last year, when COVID hadn't started yet. We have learned a lot from last year in terms of immigration and work permit processes. We are trying to streamline that and to be more digital to make it easier.
We have strengthened the sanitary measures. As you know, now the workers have to do a COVID-19 test before they board, to make sure they don't have COVID. Also, now when they land, they will have a second test, and then they will proceed directly to their farms. We are having discussions with the provinces and with organizations such as farms, for example, and the organizations that support a big number of workers to see what the best procedure is.
I really want to reassure our producers. We will be announcing this soon. I'm finalizing all the details with my colleagues Minister Qualtrough and Minister Mendicino, and with Minister Hajdu as well. We are finalizing the process right now with the provinces and these organizations. You will have all the details very soon, but I want to reassure everyone that we will make sure it goes smoothly and doesn't bring any additional costs to either the producers or their workers.
