Canada's treatment of some farm workers a 'national disgrace': minister

The treatment of migrant workers in Canada by some farmers is disgraceful and the federal government is seeking to fix the problem, the country's health minister told a parliamentary committee on Friday, as farms battle COVID-19 outbreaks among their employees. Outbreaks of coronavirus infections have killed three people and infected hundreds more on farms in Ontario, Canada's most populous province, in recent weeks. Health Minister Patty Hajdu said she had heard stories about the treatment of migrant workers that "would curl your hair," and the way some farms treat them now is "a national disgrace."
