Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's a very exciting meeting today. I thank all the witnesses.
I'm going to use my time for witness Royer. I'm going to ask all of my questions up front and then if he could respond it would be wonderful.
Witness Royer, I've heard you speak many times. You are well recognized and well respected in the community in B.C. widely. I wanted your opinion on a couple of other items as well.
One was about the precarious work for tradespeople right now, how it's precarious work and how it's not work that's particularly appealing to young people. Why is it that they're not choosing it as a career path in your experience? Also, how can your product address accessibility? It was mentioned at the beginning of this meeting, and I know I've heard you speak before around accessibility, not just for your product and what you build but also for jobs within organizations like yours.
Then the environmental impacts are very interesting. How does something like prefabrication help us meet our climate goals? Then I would also ask if you have had the opportunity to meet with the housing minister federally. If not, I would certainly ask that the Liberal parliamentary secretary who sits on this committee make that happen.
Go ahead, witness Royer.
