Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for their excellent presentations. As a first-time visitor to P.E.I., not just Charlottetown, I have to say it's a great way to begin the week.
My question goes to Mr. Schut. We spoke even before the meeting, and I sympathize very much with everything you've put on the table today in terms of your policy recommendations and the specific programming changes that you've identified as necessary. I sympathize because we hear the same sorts of concerns in the London region and in southwestern Ontario as a whole when it comes to the trucking sector.
But I have to ask, what is the lifestyle of a long-haul truck driver like? I ask that question because if these changes were to be put in place, would we actually see the problem that you're identifying, a truck driver shortage, still being a problem? It's a really hard job. It's a really hard life to be on the road, especially if you have a young family. I wonder if you could speak to that.
