Thank you MP @rosemarie_falk, Associate Shadow Minister for Labour, for meeting with the CMC team last week. We discussed the need for a dedicated agri-food immigration stream—building on the success of the Agri-Food Pilot—to help address critical labour shortages and support Canada's food supply chain.

It's an honour getting to work in the agriculture and agri-food industry with such incredible producers, processors, and department officials. The work I do wouldn't be possible without such a knowledgeable, passionate, and hard working team.
