Mexico's Ambassador to Canada Juan José Gómez Camacho has a warning for Canada: any farm that fails to follow COVID-19 rules will not receive help from any Mexican workers.
The ambassador made the comment during an episode of CTV Power Play on Monday, after news broke earlier in the day that a third migrant worker with COVID-19 had died in Ontario. Workers are required to follow a 14-day quarantine period following their arrival in Canada, which means the worker was likely exposed to the virus while working on a Canadian farm.
“What I’m confident about…is the commitment from the federal government, the norms put in place, their commitment to strengthen supervision, monitoring and enforcement of the rules,” he said. "I'm going to tell it the way it is: farmers just aren't co-operating," Ford said, urging farmers to follow the rules.
