There are a couple of things. On the work front, the area where we're seeing the biggest pressure point is on trucker shortages. We are short about 23,000 trucker positions. That's been extremely challenging, especially during the scare with the CP work stoppage and the fact that we have a number of mills not running right now because they can't get CN railcars. The transportation supply chain pressure point is a real one.
There are very much regional differences. We've observed that when the oil and gas sector in places like in northern Alberta hit a tough period of time, some labour freed up for us. They were an adjacent community, so were able to come over. I think of some other communities where mines might be booming and at that point in time the dollars might be more lucrative there. We have some pressure points in terms of losing the staff there.
In most parts of the country, we're very much a northern and more rural industry. Recruiting people to those more rural and remote areas can be challenging. I can send through the clerk some of the numbers in terms of average wages across the board, but there are better than average, family supporting, multi-generational jobs in our sector. One of the biggest gaps we do have is continuing to be able to get those bodies into rural and northern Canada.
