Human Resources committee Thank you for the question. There is no doubt that training relies on a partnership between industry, government and workers. I'll give you an example that my board chairman mentioned earlier. Five years ago, we took over a training program strictly for body shops, called I-CAR.

Industry committee I could perhaps answer this question and then invite my colleagues to comment. AIA is pleased to see that there exists a sufficient precedent in the form of the cost structure already in place in the United States. There therefore is no real justification to move very much away from the existing structure.

We identified the material concerns that we had.
