The first thing I'd like to do that I didn't do in the first panel is to acknowledge that we are on unceded Coast Salish territory.
I think this panel has really been having a conversation about good jobs. I hear that your particular association provides good-paying jobs here in the region. Canadians are really struggling. They're looking for these good jobs across the country. They're piecing together two and three part-time minimum wage jobs. We're being driven down. Losing 58,000 good-paying jobs would have a massive impact on Canada.
Mr. Redlin, you mentioned that our wages are being driven down. Minimum wages right now in Vietnam are 60ยข per hour. In Malaysia, they're $1.18. In Peru, they're $1.27. These are extremely low poverty wages. We've been experiencing the driving down of wages in Canada resulting in low minimum wage and precarious work becoming the standard, which has resulted in staggering income equality and poverty. Can you speak a bit more about the agreement with low-wage countries and the impact that will have on Canadian workers?
