Question Period Note: Temporary Foreign Workers

• Fish and seafood provide a healthy sustainable protein choice that Canadians have always relied on and they are an essential part of our food supply chain.
• We have heard very clearly from fish processors and the industry that having enough workers will be a challenge.
• That is why we lifted entry restrictions for temporary foreign workers coming into Canada and recently announced funding to ensure the sector has the capacity to access the labour force needed while keeping Canadians and workers safe.
• We will continue to work with all stakeholders to support our fisheries during this challenging time.
