Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister Finley, as you're well aware, there are significant labour shortages in Alberta today. I might say these are particularly pronounced in my own riding, where we have a booming economy and major industrial construction projects going forward. We have about $10 billion worth of upgrader projects going on in the next five to ten years.
These labour shortages that we and our employers are facing are not about to go away any time soon. What is being done to address the shortages in both the skilled trades and the other sectors of the economy?
