Thank you.
I want to come back to Mr. Strickland, because we've been talking about predictability on this committee quite a bit. Of course, we all acknowledge that predictability is really important for investors and proponents who are thinking about building big projects, but we haven't talked that much about how it relates to the workers.
Regarding what we've just been talking about, in terms of the workforce and skilled trades, having a line of sight into what's coming and the projects that are coming is really important to help us build the apprenticeships and do the training of workers who are going to be necessary. These projects don't build themselves; we need workers to build them. I see that as being, in part, the government having done a lot of work around investing in Red Seal trades and around union-led training in a variety of different contexts.
There's also a conversation about immigration, the workforce of the future that Canada needs, and how we can continue to be a country that is supportive of and built by, among others, established Canadians and new Canadians.
Can you talk to us about skilled trades planning and how this bill and the ability to plan might help with the skilled trades?
