Canadian Food Inspection Agency: County Immigration Office

XL Foods Dept: On Saturday, XL Foods announced that 2,000 workers at its Lakeside Packers facility were being temporarily laid off. That prompted the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to announce that the layoffs meant its inspectors could not continue their review of control processes at the meat-processing plant, according to CTV. In the meantime, laid-off workers uncertain of when the plant might resume operations have been lining up at the Brooks and County Immigration Office, seeking help filling out applications for Employment Insurance and some 800 employees of the XL Foods processing plant in Brooks, Alta., are back in action today, for a single shift that will determine how long the work stoppage there will last. XL Foods subsequently said that 800 employees would be in for a day's work on Tuesday, in order to facilitate the CFIA inspection.
