I appreciate that. I think it highlights that there is a lot of waste that can be recovered, and there is a lot of work to be had there as well for machinists and other skilled workers. Thank you for that.
I want to switch gears and ask you a question that I asked a witness at a previous meeting. I promise that I'm not asking this question because I'm sitting next to the former chair of the women's caucus. I think it's an important question to ask in this sector.
According to a recent Aerospace Industries Association survey, only about 24% of workers in aerospace are women. The International Aviation Womens Association did a similar survey. What they found is that “The aviation industry is not sustainable if more than 50 percent of the population doesn't see aviation as a successful career.”
I want to ask you, how can the aerospace industry help recruit and retain more women into the workforce? How can Canada help in that process to develop a more diverse workforce? What is your organization doing to help that process along?
