Summary Translation: Mexico's ambassador to Canada said that Mexico won't send any more temporary foreign workers to Canada until it has more clarity on why two died due to COVID-19. That means as many as 5,000 temporary foreign workers expected to arrive in Canada in the coming months are being held back, for now. "It's so we can reassess with the federal authorities, provinces and farmers why this happened and if there is anything to correct," said Juan Jose Gomez Camacho. The two men were employed by different farms in the Windsor, Ont., area, a farming heartland in southwestern Ontario that has seen ongoing outbreaks. The article says that the decision to hit pause is a further blow to the agriculture industry, which has been struggling to find enough labour to handle this year's planting and harvest season. Mexicans make up about half of the temporary foreign worker population employed in the agriculture sector, which in 2018 meant there were 25,060 people employed on farms, in greenhouses and other related jobs.
