The government should also create a strategy to address geopolitical barriers to international trade and enhance risk management responsiveness to supply chain and climate-related disruptions. FBC called for a comprehensive analysis of the food industry’s labour situation including a review and forecast of the agrifood sector’s current and future labour and skills requirements. “This review should consider the country’s economic and trade objectives and goals for food security and domestic food sovereignty and include an assessment of labour and skills availability today and into the future.
Those actions should include a pathway to permanent residence for workers in critical sectors such as the food industry. As well, the government should review its regulatory framework to facilitate timely and predicable regulatory approvals of new technologies and manufacturing processes in Canada’s food and beverage manufacturing sector.
Here’s an idea, the federal government should take measures to keep shelves in grocery stores full.
