I want to thank all the witnesses for their excellent presentations today.
I have questions for everyone, but I don't have enough time.
I'm going to start with Mr. Strickland.
Mr. Strickland, thank you so much for being here today. Thanks for your excellent recommendations; I have them in front of me. Thanks so much, also, for your leadership within the building trades unions and movement within our country. You've been an excellent leader. I really appreciated all our previous conversations.
The first question I have is not on something you've mentioned, but it's something we've talked about. We have a number of non-status workers who are working in building trades unions across the country. Is it time for us to find a way to normalize the non-status workers who have been here for years, who have already been trained and who contribute to our economy already? What is your position?
