Under the labour relations act in Quebec, if there are not three or more full-time employees on an agricultural operation, they are not covered under the act; therefore, seasonal agricultural workers have no right to unionization in the province of Quebec. Seasonal agricultural workers aren't covered; greenhouse operations are.
We filed for three applications in Quebec in 2006. One was accepted by the labour board. That was a greenhouse. The two field crop operations were denied; we're currently in the labour board and the courts in Quebec, arguing that they're in breach of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms around association.
I'd also like to point out that in the package we gave you is an affidavit from a seasonal agricultural worker who has been basically told that he will not receive a visa this year. He is the leader of our unionizing operation at the field crop operation, and he's been denied his visa to come back to Canada this year.
