Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here this morning.
I come from Saskatchewan where the labour shortage is just huge. The unemployment rate is 3.6%. We're screaming for skilled and unskilled workers. We're doing everything we can to include our aboriginal communities. We're looking behind every door to find people just to fill the jobs there.
Mr. Ferguson, I know we've talked about temporary foreign worker programs and stuff like that, but I guess the question I have for you is this. Are the types of jobs you're seeing created in your industry temporary in nature, or are they full-time, long-term jobs that will make for good careers?
