Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both sets of witnesses for being here.
I just want to start at the outset by saying that Suncor has a major presence in the city of Mississauga, my home community, and we're very proud of the great corporate citizenship that you've shown. You're great sponsors of many events in our community and have been great corporate citizens. We're delighted to have you here in particular today, and I want to start with a question to Suncor, and then my second question will be for both.
I was quite intrigued by your testimony that you were putting as much if not more emphasis on creating aboriginal entrepreneurs and small businesses that you actually contract to versus hiring of direct employees. I want you to expand a little bit on your strategy of encouraging small businesses that are actually owned, operated, and run by the aboriginal communities where you are operating versus direct hires who will work for Suncor directly. Is there a deliberate strategy in that? Are you looking at certain numbers where you're trying to encourage the entrepreneurial side versus the direct employment side, and what are the positive results of both sides of that?
