I believe my colleague has already discussed the subject, but I'll nevertheless point out that the problem here isn't the wages we pay. For the type of business we operate, these are really very competitive wages. Olymel currently offers the best wages in North America, but that's not enough to attract workers to this manufacturing sector instead of to the oil and gas sector. That's what's penalizing us. It isn't our businesses' ability to pay.
