duBreton Advocates for Responsible Support of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program

Saint-Bernard, QC – September 24 , 2025. duBreton, North America’s leading producer of Certified Humane and organic pork, is speaking out in support of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

For decades, the TFWP has been a cornerstone of Canada’s agri-food system, helping businesses meet year-round labour demands that cannot be filled by domestic workers alone. At duBreton, temporary foreign workers are an essential part of the team and the community.
“There’s a common misconception that temporary foreign workers create housing and employment shortages in Canada, when the truth of the matter is their contributions strengthen our region,” said Zorica Kristic, Organizational Development Director at duBreton. “Without their dedication, our local operations would be at risk, and we might be forced to shift investment outside the country.”
duBreton emphasizes that all workers – temporary or permanent – are vital to producing the highest quality pork, raised responsibly, for the health and benefit of families across Canada and around the world.
The company is calling on policymakers to approach discussions about the Temporary Foreign Worker Program with balance and responsibility. Abrupt changes or politically charged rhetoric risk undermining Canadian food security, damaging rural communities, and weakening the nation’s global competitiveness.
“Canada’s future depends on thoughtful, solutions-oriented leadership. At the end of the day, we simply want the ability to hire good, reputable people who are eager to contribute to our mission,” adds Kristic.
