Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I want to say a huge thanks to all the presenters for the excellent presentations today.
Because I have limited time, I'm going to start off with some questions to Canada's Building Trades Unions, and then I'll finish off with the Little Portugal on Dundas BIA.
Mr. Kucheran and Mr. Strickland, I want to say thank you so much for your important testimony today and for your leadership right across our country.
First, there is a significant amount of money in budget 2021 invested in skills and training, including quite a bit of money around apprenticeship. Can you speak to how important this is in helping with job creation and economic growth?
