I'll go for just a few minutes.
First of all, I think that immigration has impacted the employment side dramatically. When you run an ad, it doesn't matter what it is for, whether it be for a senior head of finance, HR, engineering, quality or general labour, there is primarily one ethnic personality showing up for all the jobs with regard to it, and a lot of them simply don't have the skills. It's about looking to find the key people.
I would also add that the taxation has plagued our company. I'm in the process of expanding. My cost in permits alone is 28% of my building cost to put up a facility. If we had a different taxation process and another way to incentivize the development of people and help people learn skilled trades and have apprenticeships, we could develop people inside the system and inside the company, but you have to have the right people showing up for the job, and you have to have the incentive to be able to develop the people.
