[QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 82995, member: 160"] Canada basically admitted its entire food supply relies on thousands of Jamaican laborers. Mark Berman revealed that over eight thousand islanders traveled north last year under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme. The High Commissioner dropped these stats during a farewell gathering at the labor ministry center in downtown Kingston. He confirmed that nearly half the crew are seasoned pros with ten years of experience. Only about a thousand people were total rookies to the grind. Berman highlighted diversity efforts, seeing over four hundred female applicants and four differently abled workers landing spots on Canadian farms. This partnership has been keeping northern plates full while propping up the agricultural sector. Officials claimed this teamwork remains essential for growers trying to survive. The arrangement supposedly generates cash for families back home while allowing both countries to swap farming techniques. Berman praised the grit shown after Hurricane Melissa wrecked local infrastructure. He argued that their determination to keep working despite storm disruptions proves the bond is solid. Ottawa promised to keep operations safe and efficient while ensuring everyone gets paid for sustaining their industry. [/QUOTE]
