NATIONAL Security Minister Stuart Young said on Tuesday said arrangements are being made for Trinidad and Tobago nationals who went to Canada to work on farms to return home because of the covid19 pandemic.
He added, We have repatriated some workers on two flights from Canada already. Today there is a dedicated CAL (Caribbean Airlines) flight from Canada to repatriate the workers. This flight was specifically for farm workers to come home.
But Young said he was told some workers had chosen to stay in Canada even though they were granted approval to come home.
