I was happy to hear you mention measures to address mental health because we know the mental health, certainly and particularly, of front-line workers and essential workers during COVID has been hard hit understandably, but we also have seen incidents of poor treatment of workers during COVID, particularly those in food production, including migrant workers and newcomers. They have been subjected to employers who have shown a complete disregard for their workers' safety, well-being and human rights during the pandemic.
For example, I can think of the outbreak at the Maple Leaf facility in Brandon, Manitoba, and many others, including places in Ontario.
Many of the outbreaks have been in meat processing plants, for example, and many who work there are low-income workers and BIPOC. I was wondering if you could speak to whether your department is addressing this and what you will be doing in relation to the high number of COVID outbreaks in food production to better protect workers going forward.
