There's no question that labour is a long-standing issue for agriculture and agri-food stakeholders.
There's been an increasing urgency to the dialogue. Food and Beverage Canada and many of the member companies have been in dialogue with departmental officials and with the minister, as well, in recent weeks about some of their ideas, for both the short and the long term, to rectify the situation.
This committee addressed the labour issue in some of the recommendations from its report from last June, if I remember correctly. As the member noted, the minister is mandated to create a labour strategy. We welcome input from this committee and stakeholders on that.
I would note, as well, the announcement from last month about lifting the cap on the use of temporary foreign workers by a facility to 20% in Quebec. There have been some nearer-term measures. We're very open to ideas, both short- and longer-term, and more active dialogue around that.
