I don't think I would make as broad-sweeping a statement as was just made, Mr. Chair. I know that many people who work in the construction field are as law-abiding as everybody in this room. I understand the point that you're making, and one could argue that this exists in many different fields. We are obviously looking to get people actively involved in the the kinds of activities, the kinds of trades, that are needed in Canadian society, and obviously aligning with law-abiding companies that hire people, so I'm not quite prepared to accept the broad-sweeping statement that the entire construction field is corrupt.
