Thank you, Mr. Beauchamp.
Sir, I would like to reiterate what Mr. Beauchamp said. In the case of the Vallée-Jonction plant, our teams are continuing to work with various levels of government. We want the temporary foreign workers in Vallée-Jonction, more specifically, to have access to other jobs in Olymel facilities to maintain their employment relationship. These people have one, two, three or four years of seniority and we will recognize them, as we will all other employees who will be transferred.
So our priority is to make sure that staff can continue to work for us. For those employees who will want to stay in the region, we are involved in the process of obtaining an open permit, if possible. We are still waiting to hear back.
In general, in its other facilities, Olymel has done its homework to recruit the necessary workforce. Sixteen collective agreements were reopened in 12 months to ensure that we are competitive in hiring, which in many facilities has yielded results. It also allows us to move forward with value-added products and maintain jobs in other facilities.
As my colleague mentioned, you can never say never, but the efforts to date in our other 29 locations to hire and retain employees and create jobs have been successful. We are continuing to do so in order to secure the operations of these facilities.
