Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome all the witnesses and thank them for their presence, their contribution and their evidence.
Basically, your three organizations represent the residential sector, which is about the need for housing, and the food sector, which is about the need for nourishment. So we are dealing with the basic needs of citizens. Your contribution is important and we should indeed support you.
My question is for Mr. Fraeys, from the Conseil de la transformation alimentaire du Québec.
What we're pleased to see, federally, is that the food manufacturing sector has been included in Canada's critical infrastructure sector. In this regard, you have illustrated the problems you are experiencing. For example, the problems associated with the issuance of labour market impact assessments, or LMIAs, are hurting many companies. As members of Parliament, we need to look at this. I know that you sent the minister an emergency program before the holidays to remedy the situation of temporary foreign workers. It is now April.
Have you received any clear answers regarding this emergency program? Have any solutions been put in place?
If not, why not?
