Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a couple of questions.
Minister, I want to speak about just transition for a moment. I as well have met with a lot of skilled labour, both union and non-unionized trades, across the country. I hear a lot of concern with regard to our oil sands. We all agree that the environment is vitally important. We have people who have skilled trades that are kind of losing their jobs. When I say just kind of, I mean not a little bit. When we look at Saskatchewan, plants are closing and folks have nowhere to go. Many of these folks are 40, 45 or 50 years old, and are not necessarily wanting to go back to college to learn a new trade.
Minister, can you confirm, or can you give us some direction that we're not going to risk high-paying jobs for the folks across Canada due to just transition?
