In many ways you're talking about more jobs—more good-paying union jobs for Canadians.
I'll give the example of precision drillers in Alberta. I used to work in Alberta's oil sector, and this is very common. Precision drillers are the folks who drill the well we need to get oil out of. Imagine if one of the largest companies in Alberta could utilize technology and the skills of these workers, who could be rewarded not just in pride but in good paycheques, to diversify their bids for products. Rather than an oil company, for example, saying, “Precision drillers, build an oil well for us”, what if another company said they should drill a geothermal plant? Imagine if that question were presented to them.
As a matter of fact, that happened in 2014 and 2015. A pilot project in Alberta converted an abandoned oil well with the existing skills and technology of the oil sector, and it produced the very first geothermal well in Alberta. Is that an example of the kind of technology that not only provides good-paying union jobs, but also increases and diversifies the immense labour skills and technology we already have?
