Thank you very much.
The food and beverage manufacturing sector has come forward to request that the federal government launch an emergency foreign worker program. This is a program that would build on the existing temporary foreign worker program. It would not relax any of the obligations of employers to workers, any worker protection, but would provide more flexibility for companies to, in the immediate term, bring workers into Canada to fill these jobs to provide relief for our existing workforce that is burning out after two years in the pandemic and help us really stabilize the workforce while we identify longer-term solutions to our chronic labour problems.
