Concerning the workforce, we know that, since July, agreements have been concluded so that in Quebec—but not elsewhere in Canada—the rate of temporary foreign workers who can come work here would go from 10% to 20%, even though we understand that even more would be needed.
However, the implementation of that measure is currently inexplicably delayed. What is your opinion on this?
Agreements between the governments of Quebec and Canada have been on the table for a long time to increase the number of temporary foreign workers who can come work here. What is the problem? We can very well say that there is a computer problem, but is the federal government firm in its will to find solutions quickly?
Yes, we have adopted rules and we have come to an agreement between governments, but according to the discussions I had last week with people from Olymel, we will wait until April or May for those workers to arrive. That is not even close to what is needed for the waiting hogs to be slaughtered.
What is your view of this?
