I'm almost finished.

I understand that these are options, but they have not been viable options for us in the north, and we have experienced all of them.

I encourage the committee to consider this as you deliberate this legislation. I suggest that the legislation should incorporate provisions to deal with remote locations and transportation workers.

I have a lot of personal experience with this and I would be happy to address it further in questions from the committee.

Thank you for allowing me to make a presentation and to speak on behalf of CLAC. I look forward to your questions.
