As I said at the outset, we support this bill because it would create a platform for alternative voices to be heard in a way that perhaps they have not been so far. If there were any changes that I would propose, they would be very minor.
One point that Mayor Heron mentioned in her opening remarks, which I would reiterate and support, is that we feel a little uncomfortable with the language about retraining energy workers. That's actually not the issue. Most of our members who work in oil and gas or in oil and gas-related construction have skills that are transferable; the issue is to create economic opportunities for them to put those skills to use. If you're an electrician working in the oil sands, or a pipefitter or a boilermaker, you're not stuck in the oil and gas sector. You can build whatever industrial projects are available. We've seen that with all the work in the industrial heartland.
One thing I noticed in the report and the discussion around it is that it didn't emphasize some of the big industrial opportunities that are ahead of us in the unfolding global energy transition. In particular, experts in our provinces say that we're going to have to at least triple the size of our electric grid. As we point out in our blueprint that we released last week, that's a huge investment and jobs opportunity, with billions of dollars in investment and thousands of jobs created. We'd like to see that reflected.
The final point—
