Thanks for the question.
The YESS program is very important to our sector. I've talked a bit about the outland youth employment program. One of the other programs that have benefited from YESS is Project Learning Tree Canada, which has placed 8,000 young people in conservation and forestry job placements—3,000 of those were youth who had barriers to employment.
My point on the YESS program is that there's been some tremendous infrastructure built. The more we can lean in and scale up there in a sector like ours.... We're national. We have a great network of people, and we can really mobilize. My advice, in our sector, as we try to fix some of these challenges that we're facing, to blunt the blow and to provide opportunity, is to really lean in on where we've been successful. We're prepared to work with the government to do that.
