It said the money has gone for 32 projects.
The ones federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau mentioned are Exceldor, a poultry company; Sunnymel, which produces pork and poultry; Breton Tradition 1944, which processes “natural” and organic meats; Oly-Robi Transformation, a pork company; and Montpak International, which processes veal.
She said in a news release that others are under consideration.
The money is to help businesses buy reusable PPE, sanitation stations and protective barriers, make adjustments to production lines to enable social distancing, develop additional training and adopt other measures that help safeguard employees from COVID-19.
