Thank you very much for your question.
The industry in our sector is very aware of and understands the need for succession, especially with the changing workforce and folks coming to retirement age.
But also we're seeing some challenges in getting the folks coming out of colleges, universities, and trade programs into our sector. We're very technology driven; however, we also have mechanical and plant production areas and need to fill those capabilities.
If we position ourselves with the support of government, we believe we can grow our businesses. We believe we have a bright future, should we come out of this not completely economically crippled or, in some cases, not having gone elsewhere or not just selling our technology, our IP, to another competitive company elsewhere, out of Canada.
I believe the government again has a role to play in encouraging young people and maybe people outside of work with new skills development. As I said, we have an opportunity not only to repatriate some of our lost jobs, but to help absorb the lost jobs from the automotive and the steel sectors, because they're not completely out of line with our capabilities and our needs within our production plants.
But we certainly could use some support from government to make sure that rail is a priority, that rail is a growth sector. There are a lot of technologies being developed out of our sector; it's not just aerospace doing it. We see a lot of engineers coming out of universities and wanting to go into aerospace. They have their own issues and I believe you're going to hear from them later on in the committee hearings, but we want to make sure that government recognizes rail as a sustainable mode of transport and a growth industry in Canada.
