Okay. Thank you.

Mr. Tadic, the head offices of JDI—Irving Shipbuilding—are in my riding of Saint John—Rothesay. We've had many meetings with the company about increasing the number of women in the trades. You mentioned the project underway now with respect to Irving Shipbuilding. You also mentioned that only 5% of welders are female.
