Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for being here with us.
Mr. Lancastle, your association recently hailed the Team Canada Strong workforce training initiative, which was announced in the economic update. However, in Quebec, Minister Jean Boulet expressed concern that this initiative encroached on Quebec's jurisdiction because Quebec has had an agreement with Ottawa since 1997 that gives it full jurisdiction over workforce training.
As such, I was wondering if you would be in favour of Quebec getting its share of the funding and continuing to take charge of training with existing industry groups. That way, there would be no additional bureaucracy and no duplication. Plus, with the market being what it is these days, it would ensure that training initiatives are rolled out quickly.
