I'll send an email to the speaker that presented to us today and ask, however a cursory Google does not seem to show this info anywhere.
As it stands, I think the lobby for corporate farms is standing behind this guise of small family farms to avoid paying vacation, WCB, and minimum wage. There is likely room for a Saskatchewan style exemption for farms employing only family, but very few meet the rules even there, as most have outside labour employed.
