Thank you, Ms. Dzerowicz. I have a couple of points before I hand the question to Mr. Strickland.
The items listed in the budget do a couple of things. One is that it has put money into areas that are needed to stimulate the economy. That's one benefit.
Second, in a lot of these initiatives, the intention is to engage citizens who don't already participate in the construction industry. I'm talking about aboriginal people, women, racialized communities and under-represented communities. That is very important. You know that our industry is going to lose through attrition many construction workers over the next 10 years, as reported by BuildForce Canada. We need to backfill those members. Besides creating opportunities for under-represented groups in Canada with not just jobs but good-paying careers, that will go a long way to backfill our workforce, and not only that, build the economy. It's going to help in a number of areas.
I'll defer to Mr. Strickland, please.
