Thanks, Chair, and my thanks to the witnesses for coming in.
I have a question for each of the groups.
I'll go first off with the building association and everything you're doing. With the three solid recommendations, I really don't have any push-back at all. I know it's not the first time I've heard of the importance of recognizing our skilled trades, and the tax credit I think is a great idea.
I would like you to expand a little bit more on your accreditation, cross-border, the Red Seal apprenticeship program and challenges going forward, or why this is so important to get this recognition moving so that we can get people working in these skilled trades which are essential to our economic recovery and to fix our labour shortages.
