Thank you very much for the question. Mark may want to weigh in as well.
On cross-border mobility, right now we have challenges in Windsor, Ontario, for example, with the availability of workers. There's an opportunity.... Years ago, in the auto plants, we did share workers across the border for shutdowns and turnaround periods, but we're not able to do that right now because of the changing requirements for immigration and temporary work permits on both sides of the border.
The training is so similar, almost identical, within the construction trades unions. Mark is a member of the United Association of plumbers, steamfitters and welders, and their training curriculum is the same in Canada as it is in the United States. The skill set between skilled tradespeople in the U.S. and Canada is almost identical. It's very familiar, and it would be a really good policy objective and implementation if we were to allow for that cross-border mobility to happen, especially when you have border areas where there are requirements for workers and there are labour shortages. They're not there to fill those jobs. Also, it would be good for large-scale shutdowns.
We had an example this year. We were able to get some electricians into a plant in Pennsylvania. These electricians were unemployed in Canada. They were able to get into a plant in Pennsylvania, but it was like moving heaven and earth in order to get these folks into Pennsylvania. We think there's a policy solution to this. We need to get into this a bit more, but we think there's a policy solution to help with that cross-border mobility, recognizing how the unionized construction industry has the very same skills on both sides of the border.
Mark had an experience in Hamilton that he may want to talk about.
