Good morning again, and thanks to all of you for presenting this morning.
There's a common theme that I see today. We know that Atlantic Canada has a high unemployment rate and a lack of industry, or limited industry, and it seems the problem continues all the time. What we hear today is that we have issues. You're asking for skills development, and that is an issue, and we know that the unemployment rate is high, and you're asking for immigration as a solution, if I understood correctly. One thing I see here is absence of the private sector, and when the private sector doesn't come to a market, there are reasons. Either the legislation is not right or it's preventing that, or taxation could be an issue.
I'd like to hear mostly from the chamber of commerce, and from agriculture, the fishermen, and whoever wants to contribute an answer on what's preventing the private sector from coming to P.E.I. and to Atlantic Canada. What can we do in order to encourage that?
Who wants to start first?
