We certainly have manpower--or personpower--problems in trying to get people ready for the developments that are currently occurring and that we see occurring into the future.
About four years ago we struck a skills task force to do a review of the projects we had going and the potential projects we saw coming to Newfoundland and Labrador. We worked with the unions to identify the requirements—the people who would be needed, the specific job requirements. We did inventories of the people we had available. We worked with the unions to see how many people working in western Canada or in Ontario or other parts of the world we might be able to bring back, and we made investments in our high schools and our junior high schools to attract our younger people into the skilled trades. With this, we have been able to increase the number of people we have available. We've also tried to attract non-traditional people, such as women and persons with disabilities, while working on our immigration policy. We don't have a lot of immigration in Newfoundland and Labrador, but we've developed an immigration policy and we are trying to attract more immigrants into the province.
We've had some success in reducing what we felt was going to be a shortage of supply, but still there will be opportunities for people to come in and work in Newfoundland and Labrador as these projects mature and as new projects come on stream.
