When speaking with partners in the agri‑food sector, some companies reported that they had major issues with finding temporary foreign workers because of processing delays at IRCC. Obviously, this isn't today's topic. However, there are long waiting periods for temporary foreign workers. Your report also shows issues with inspections, isolation measures, housing and payroll. Basically, there seems to be some issues with the management of temporary foreign workers at virtually every level.
I would support the idea of a one‑stop shop, as my colleague Mrs. Shanahan said. This would ensure that all the responsibilities fall under a single authority, such as Quebec's authority. That's exactly what we want.
I'll end on that note.
Thank you.
