Mr. Chair, in these unprecedented times, our producers are working that much harder to feed Canadians while facing challenges that are not always easy, particularly in terms of access to labour.
To help them, this week, the Prime Minister announced an increase in the youth employment and skills strategy program to help young people be hired in the agricultural sector.
This is a $9.2-million investment that will help to attract young Canadians between the ages of 15 and 30 and to provide them with an exceptional experience in the agricultural sector.
I encourage all producers to apply through the Agriculture Canada website.
