Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Meat Plants (Resumed)

Mr. Joe Ryan:

I am happy to answer that question. Our knowledge of the employment permits legislation is in so far as how much we have interacted with it in recent years. We have engaged with the employment permit legislation and the Department with responsibility for business to seek a quota of permits to recruit workers. If there are to be changes to the employment permit legislation, it is probably for another forum to discuss. There are many other sectors that interact with the employment permit system that would wish to feed into it.
