We haven't started up yet. So we can't say whether we have a labour problem or not.
However, we expect a labour problem will arise, and we have strategies to solve it. For example, we could let farmers slaughter their own animals and be paid for it. In that way, they would be taking part in the entire producer work process. Many of our members have already expressed a real desire to do so.
We have several other strategies to include people in our labour force. For example, we're starting up a slaughter training program on the Brome-Missisquoi campus, which is in the neighbouring RCM and offers butchery training. Students could come and take their course on the job in our abattoir, which would guarantee us new employees with every class.
So there are ways of cooperating, such as this one, that can vastly facilitate the solution to any labour problems we encounter.
I'd like to add that, in other abattoirs, in France, for example, the farmers do the slaughtering work themselves.
