Thank you so much, Mr. Hinton.
Because I have just run out of time with you, could you submit some of your key recommendations on how we can create this freedom to operate beyond the scale-up of the $30 million clean-tech pilot, I would be grateful. Then this committee could consider your recommendations moving forward.
Turning to Mr. Strickland, I want to say thank you for being here today. I also want to say a huge thanks to you for your leadership on the labour mobility deduction for tradespeople and for really pushing our government to increase funding for union training and innovation. It has made an impact and, as you could see, it is in budget 2022.
We have talked a lot about labour shortages in Canada. Over the years, because our immigration system hasn't facilitated tradespeople coming into this country, we have developed or acquired a number of non-status trades workers who are working within the construction sector.
Do you think that we need to normalize or find some sort of pathway to citizenship for those trades workers who have been working in our industry, who have been trained up and who have been largely socially and economically integrated? Do you have any thoughts on that?
