The Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the Foreign Agricultural Resource Management Services (FARMS) and Service Canada have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the Jamaica-Canada Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme (SAWP).

The commitment followed a high-level bilateral meeting at the FARMS headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario, recently, which focused on the programme's progress, emerging priorities and the welfare of Jamaican workers.

The meeting was led by Labour and Social Security Minister Pearnel Charles Jr., who was accompanied by Jamaica's High Commissioner to Canada, Marsha Coore-Lobban, and senior officials from the ministry and the Jamaican Liaison Service.
