Thank you very much.
I want to follow up on the comments that Monsieur Vermette made about there not being a lot of shipbuilding expertise in Canada.
It's my understanding that one of the conditions in these umbrella agreements or contracts, whatever you call them, with the two shipbuilding entities is that for every dollar invested by the federal government, they will also invest dollars, particularly toward R and D and training.
I wonder if one or all of you can speak to that, if that's actually happening and whether a lot of that is being directed toward trying to ensure that Canadians' skills are being upgraded so they can actually participate in this industry.
I'm raising this because, of course, you have to abide by the IRB, and there are supposed to be regional spinoffs. This all sounds very familiar to a rather large industry in my jurisdiction, the oil sands. What we have also in Alberta is this boom and bust. That occurs because all of the permits are given out and they're all given out at once. This is something that former Premier Lougheed raised concerns about, that if you don't pace the industry properly you'll have this boom and bust because the costs escalate for the labour and competition to get the equipment and so forth. Then you start having to go offshore to get that equipment in a timely manner.
I am wondering what your strategy is to try to avoid the problems they've run into in that large sector, and whether part of your skilled expertise will include a complement of temporary foreign workers.
