Canadian Food Inspection Agency: Tara Weber

Foreign Workers Dept: That represents about a third of the 2,000 workers temporarily laid off on Saturday , but hundreds more still don't know when they'll be called back, and it doesn't relieve the uncertainty many of the plant's foreign workers are feeling, according to CBC. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said it could be this week , but it all depends on the assessment currently underway at the plant and roughly 800 workers returned to the job Tuesday processing meat at the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta., so Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspectors can assess the plant's operations . The reprieve for 800 laid-off employees is temporary. reporter Tara Weber said once the 800 workers are done their shifts, the lights at the plant will be turned off and there is no word yet on when the plant will open again or be fully operational.
