Thanks.
Ask anyone in Calgary their number one business risk. It's not capital; it's not regulation. It's getting the right people to the right job at the right time. How do we fix it? We need colleges in all of the provinces to start working together to get the training picture right. If you're a mobile worker from New Brunswick, working in Alberta, you shouldn't have to quit your job to go home to New Brunswick to take your classroom portion. You should be able to take your classroom portion where you work, and I think we talked about this with Mr. Allen last time—it's all coming back to me. That should be the easiest thing in the world to work out.
We should have a system of labour mobility in this country, where if there is regional unemployment in various areas.... Let's incent those people to get on the plane and get to where the work is. The impact on the consolidated revenue fund, getting people off employment insurance and onto the employment rolls, would be immense. How do you do that? If the employer's not paying for them to get on the plane, you give them a tax break to get on the plane or a tax credit based on their travel expenses. If it's someone in Ontario who's unemployed in Windsor, give him a per diem expense to drive to the Bruce nuclear plant, where they're scrambling for skilled trades.
It's colleges and universities, it's labour mobility, and it's the promotion of quality careers in the skilled trades. The other panellists can talk, but if the most common age in my membership is 52, we're in trouble in 10 years. What about the projects that are set to go in 16 years? How old are those 52-year-olds then?
