Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and thank you to all of our witnesses for taking time to testify here today.
I want to extend a special welcome to Mr. Galbraith and Mr. Wayland. They are fellow members of the IBEW, and I'm very happy to have them here at committee today.
I want to zero in on the question of how the transition to a lower-carbon economy can help workers across the country create opportunities for employment—particularly in Alberta, where they have faced significant job losses—and for transferring the skills and experience they have from the oil and gas sector to some of the new, emerging technologies that Canada ought to be a global leader in.
I wonder if you could talk, from a worker's perspective, about what investing in these clean technologies can look like, and the kinds of employment opportunities they can afford for those workers.
