Thank you, Chair.
Thank you both for coming.
I think you said, Mr. Blackburn, regarding the use of the talent pool globally, you'd like to see a comprehensive agreement on qualifications.
The topic here thus far does seem to be the investor state arbitration agreement. Scott, you had a fair bit to say on it. Can you both explain fairly concisely how it would impact local development criteria? I know in Ron's question there was some discussion on that. Do you have different opinions on local development criteria? In your answer a moment ago, Mr. Blackburn, you mentioned that you couldn't do it if you didn't hire local. You can't move Canadians all around. What's the threshold at the municipal level? As I understand it, smaller communities are not affected, and it's quite a high threshold. Would you both explain local development criteria? I do think that is important.
Scott, do you want to start, or Mr. Blackburn?
