We had all the temporary foreign workers we needed, and the Quebec government has made repeated requests, but we now find ourselves in a crisis because we are unable to bring in the Mexican workers to our plants, even though, for almost a year, the processing plants were prepared to bring them in over the next few years.
We know that the population outside our urban centres is aging. Where I live, the average age in the plants is 60. We even have workers who are 70 and 72 years old.
