Thanks, Minister. Please stay on top of that to ensure that there is no shortage while you're working on a long-term strategic plan.
My next area of questioning is around our agriculture sector, in particular our fruit and vegetable growers. Currently under the LMIA process, whether they're temporary foreign workers or seasonal, there are audits being done with respect to housing standards. At the provincial and municipal levels there are integrity audits, labour audits, municipal zoning regulations, fire codes and so on. Some of these farmers who are fundamental to our food security are undergoing eight audits in a given year.
What is your role and ESDC's role to streamline this and take away this bureaucratic burden to our fruit and vegetable growers?
