Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses for this testimony. It's been very helpful.
Mr. Smith, I'm really disappointed to hear that you don't have rapid testing. I know Indigenous Services has made rural and remote communities a priority with the GeneXpert machine, so I'll certainly be taking that back to find out why you haven't been included in that, because all of the witnesses have talked about rapid testing and I think the government recognizes the need to really ramp that up.
Ms. Agrell, I have some questions for you. I am extremely proud to have known the operating engineers for many years, long before I was a member of Parliament. I had conversations years ago with Mike Gallagher, the business manager for Local 793, about the work you've done training indigenous peoples to work as operating engineers.
You talked about the challenges and the barriers to training. I was reading that you developed a regional training centre back in 2014 with Neskantaga. I'm just wondering if that still in existence and if that is a model that could be expanded.
