Thank you for your contribution to this committee today.

I wanted to pursue some of the concerns around the conditions that you say workers aren’t particularly interested being in. I would think that cramped quarters, exploitation, racism and threats of deportation might be some of those things. I’m wondering how you feel we can get a better understanding of what the conditions for workers really are.

We know that inspections are voluntary, I believe, in this sector. What is the proportion of the total number of operations in your group that are inspected? Do you have any understanding of that?

A follow-up to that would be if there is an opportunity to increase that number so that, as you put it, the statistical validity of who and how many we’re talking to can be increased, what would be your suggestion as a policy group? How can we increase the number of inspections and get better information on conditions?

Is this data available? Do we know what proportion of the total number of operations actually get inspected? Is that a problem, do you think?
