I am disheartened to hear that people would have no access to payments, especially if they have been coming from the likes of Poland and becoming self-employed here. I am self-employed. I do not have any migrant workers. Every one of our workers is considered to be a team member. I would hate to see that anyone is treated with such disrespect and that anyone who has worked, and especially who had kept us going as a country at a time of pandemic, and kept food on our tables would be treated any differently.

From my point of view, as I stated earlier, I will do whatever I can do from my side of things. I believe everyone else here, collectively, will do the same. We all need to work with the statistics and the facts that the MRCI has along with the other ones because they are all conflicting and we need to find the true picture so that we can all help.
