Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of the officials for being here today and for your extraordinary hard work on this huge, huge budget.
My question for you is about skills and training. There's a substantial amount of money in the budget for skills training and retraining, and my question is for whomever is best able to respond. I think it is important for us to be spending this money, but I want to know whether there was an analysis done of why it was important for us to invest so heavily at this time in training and retraining. I think we have about 500,000 new training opportunities in the budget, and I think it's over half a billion dollars that has been allocated.
Has there been an analysis of the need for this and how extensive this support needed to be?
