Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I really thank all the witnesses.
There have certainly been numerous studies on housing at the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. A particular element has recently been added to these studies as a result of today's motion, which will bring us to our consideration of issues relating to advances in home building technologies.
I would like to welcome everyone, but to express particular thanks to the FTQ-Construction representatives. Behind everything involved in housing, be it homes, rentals, or affordable housing, there are workers. Without these workers, there would be no construction, and so it is important to hear their views.
Mr. Lapointe, you spoke earlier about challenges, which I find very interesting. Fortunately, you play a large role in Quebec in relation to health, safety and skills issues. I think you were about to tell us about how the culture needs to be changed. Can you continue with your remarks about what you wanted to tell us?
