An op-ed from Food and Beverage Canada CEO Kristina Farrell (Proulx) about Embracing Innovation for a Sustainable and Competitive Future in Food and Beverage Manufacturing, which highlights how companies like FBC-ABC Member CAD MicroSolutions Inc. can provide companies in the industry with advanced manufacturing solutions, and actions the federal government can take to help address barriers to innovation.

<< Depuis le 1er mai, le gouvernement fédéral a abaissé de 30 à 20 % le pourcentage de la main-d’oeuvre pouvant provenir du volet « bas salaires » du Programme des travailleurs étrangers temporaires (PTET) dans les entreprises qui y ont recours. Un changement qui inquiète le secteur de l’abattage et de la transformation alimentaire, notamment celui de la transformation de viande, qui demande d’être exempté de cette mesure, comme le sont le secteur de la construction et celui de la santé. « Ça nous a pris complètement par surprise quand ils nous ont annoncé ça. Pour nous, c’est inacceptable! On a besoin du 30 %. On est actuellement autour de 29,8 % de TET, donc on est accotés sur ce 30 % », réagit René Proulx, FCPA, présidentdirecteur général Exceldor, coopérative avicole, dans une entrevue accordée à La Terre. De son côté, le transformateur de porc et de volailles Olymel rapporte que, depuis la baisse à 20 %, « un certain impact se fait sentir, surtout dans les établissements qui connaissent déjà des difficultés pour le recrutement, notamment dans des régions où le taux de chômage est plus faible», mentionne Audrey Giboulet, directrice intérimaire des communications pour l’entreprise. >> Gabrielle Fallu https://lnkd.in/gzZK-HbC
