Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Lana, it's nice to see you again. I think the last time we met was in Ottawa. We certainly talked about softwood lumber and about how important that and the auto sector are. I do have another question to ask you, though.
In doing some research over the last little while, I discovered that in 2025 there were 126,000 unemployed skilled tradespeople in Canada. At the same time, the government issued 125,000 temporary foreign worker permits in TEER 0 to 3, which includes skilled trades and skilled labour. I've asked the government to conduct an investigation into this. I've asked two ministers to do this. They haven't committed to doing that.
Do you think it's something that would be important to do, given that those numbers seem to line up exactly and we are having a bit of an employment crisis in Canada, with unemployment at 6.9% and our economy now in recession?
