I might just deliver a caution there. Once again, this is just a personal statement. I have been approached by many, many sources who say, “I wouldn't mind having that contract; I'd love to do that. If they don't want to put their arms out there because it's going to hurt their shoulder, I'll gladly take it on”.
I realize that's a shallow statement coming from many people who sometimes either overreact or don't have information. But I would suggest to you that if the market isn't being filled and there is a void, the competitive nature of society generally does somehow find a way to facilitate that. There are many people who would like an opportunity to work for an income--period. Is that a situation we could or should consider?
In your negotiations, I certainly would caution that you not simply live in this world where no one else would be willing to do that job in rural Canada. I have 14% unemployment in a portion of my riding. I can assure you that there are a number of people who would willingly step forward to do a number of jobs, in a number of ways. I just ask you to consider that.
