Thanks very much, to both of you, for being here today.
Mark, you were making some great points. I think the industry in the patch.... It's a job that's not for the feint of heart. It's physical; it's demanding.
I know there was a training institute in Atlantic Canada, the maritime institute of drilling, or something like this. I would think that somebody going into that sector does not want to go in blind.
You guys take a barefaced rig hand and work him up through the.... There's a lot of that going on. This maritime training centre wanted to give them the rig experience, but because there was no certification....
You work in an industry where there are competencies, as you indicated, but there are no specific trades. So young people who were going there weren't able to receive any kind of financial support. They weren't able to continue their EI or whatever while they went there because there was a lack of that structure.
Has the industry ever looked at trying to develop apprenticeships, per se, for the rigs?
