Thank you. I have a couple of questions for Beth from TIAC.
I want to start with a question on labour. A Liberal member, Mr. Weiler, asked you about this earlier, but I don't know if he really asked the right question, so I'd like to touch on it again.
Labour shortages for many tourism and hospitality businesses are a big issue right across the country, but I think it's particularly acute in communities like those that I represent in Banff and Canmore, in communities like Mr. Weiler is supposed to represent in Whistler—places like that, where they're remote, tourism-based economies. They are the places people are the most attracted to, but they're also where it's most difficult to get the labour.
You mentioned a need for long-term solutions. I think you could put it another way—that this is really a permanent problem for which the government has a temporary solution. We obviously need to see long-term, as you mentioned, more permanent solutions.
Could you speak to those solutions and what you see them needing to be? What can the government do to remove some of the barriers to the success of the industry in the way of being able to get labour to fill the positions we need to fill?
