Thank you for your questions.
We have been heavily reliant on temporary foreign workers for years. We have to face a particular challenge at the moment, because we know that there will be fewer of those workers. In April, for example, we brought in 11,000 of them whereas we were expecting 13,000. So things were fine in April, but the challenge is greater for the coming months. Today, we received excellent news about the workers from Guatemala, who will be able to obtain their visas when they arrive in Montreal. That is encouraging, because it makes our task a lot easier. The company called FERME Québec was certainly very happy, delighted, with the change we have made in our procedures.
We want to encourage Canadians, students included, to work in agriculture more. That is why we have established a new platform called Step up to the Plate; it will allow people with an interest in agriculture to find access to various employment portals.
As for summer jobs, the constituency I represent, which contains 36 municipalities, is experiencing much the same situation. So I fully understand what you are saying. We are very interested in this. This exercise is going to allow us to get a better understanding of the expectations or needs, and of the employment possibilities for our young people. Later, we will see what we can do if that is confirmed, as we are sensing in regions like mine…
The internships…
