Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister Bibeau, thank you very much for being with us today. I'd like to congratulate you for your hard work throughout this pandemic. I'm in constant contact with the producers in my region, and I often hear how much you are listening to their needs and concerns, so thank you.
You spoke a little about it in your speech, but I'd like to come back to the issue of access to labour for our agricultural producers.
During a meeting I had this week with UPA Estrie, I was able to hear how satisfied the organization was with the work that had been done by our government. Indeed, we have speeded up processing times, since these are essential workers.
What steps has the government taken to facilitate access for producers to temporary foreign workers and labour?
