Okay. I will wrap up.
I'll finish by touching on two important issues. Manitoba has the largest urban aboriginal population in the country. This population is underemployed and unemployed. Both Canada and Manitoba are heavily emphasizing training and apprenticeship opportunities to engage this workforce. We are active participants in those initiatives. Our position is that we can enjoy the demographic dividend of engaging a young workforce into the workplace or we can do the exact opposite. We can actually marginalize them and disengage them further.
The other component, just quickly, is that Alberta is a key example of what happens when there's a retraction in skilled trades. Canada has already had to step up with significant supports to support displaced workers. We think easing entry and adding temporary foreign workers to this program with greater ease will only exacerbate the cost to Canada and to Alberta and to the provinces.
For those reasons, we very definitely oppose the labour provisions under chapter 12 of the TPP.
Thank you.
