The attack would, in part, affect orders and deliveries, warehouses, and employee payroll.

Let’s note that Laval has 10 IGA and IGA Extra banners on its territory.

In a press release, Empire Company Limited maintains that “the Company’s grocery stores remain open to meet customer needs, and are not facing significant disruptions at this time.”

However, some in-store services are operating intermittently, or are subject to delays, Empire Company Limited admits.

“In addition, some pharmacies are experiencing technical difficulties when filling prescriptions,” the press release added. “However, it remains committed to ensuring continuity of care for all patients in its pharmacies.”

“At Sobeys, going beyond the needs of our customers is our top priority,” said by press release Pierre St-Laurent, Chief Operating Officer of Empire Company Limited. “At this time, we’re focused on resolving the issue, and will provide further updates as relevant information becomes available.”

Empire Company Limited isn’t in a position right now to determine when the problems affecting its systems will be fully resolved.

The Honorable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, presented Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan 2023–2025, which outlines immigration as a strategy aimed at helping companies find workers, and to attract qualified people in key sectors.

Last year, Canada welcomed more than 405,000 newcomers – the most ever in a single year. The Government continues that ambition, by setting itself 465,000 permanent residents in 2023, 485,000 in 2024, and 500,000 in 2025. The plan places greater emphasis on the settlement of newcomers in different regions of the country, including small towns and rural communities.

“Last year, we welcomed the largest number of newcomers in a single year in our history,” said Fraser. “This year’s plan will help businesses find the workers they need, set Canada on a path that supports our long-term success, and enable us to deliver on our key commitments to vulnerable people fleeing violence, war and persecution.”

That plan builds on ongoing work to strengthen the immigration system, and bring the benefits of immigration to communities across the country. That includes supporting the vitality of Francophone communities outside of Quebec. (J.L-B\IJL)
