Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
When we have witnesses that come through, I often wish sometimes the panels would be arranged so that, for instance, in the last panel we could have the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility actually appear with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, so they could deal with some of the comments.
I think it would have been good, as well, to have the International Union of Operating Engineers appear with Greenpeace in the last panel, because I note with interest the IUOE has supported the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, the Line 3 pipeline expansion, has supported the nuclear facility refurbishment. I met with the BC Building Trades Council, which also supports pipeline development, supports the Site C dam, supports responsible resource development.
I guess I'm looking for your perspective. I know you said you don't like to get into the policy. If it's going to be built, you want to build it. I think on this, certainly from the Conservative side, we're not too concerned about oil companies or pipeline companies or nuclear companies, but we are concerned about the women and men who gain family-supporting jobs and who pay the mortgage and put food on the table because of the projects that are approved by government.
Can you perhaps talk about the tension that sometimes comes up where we have organizations that are actively involved in opposing much of the work that sustains the families that you represent? How do you deal with that? Do you have campaigns to try to educate people on the nature of your work, the important economic benefits that it provides to communities and families? Or is that the job of government?
