Thank you, Mr. Chair.
At this committee, one of the things we often ask witnesses about has to do with labour and skills and training. It's rare to sometimes listen to discussions about high unemployment rates in anything we do around this committee. So it is a little bit different hearing from Atlantic Canada where the unemployment rate is higher than it is in other parts of the country.
Having said that, as new developments come—hopefully, the pipeline to the east, development of natural gas, etc.—there's going to be shifting demands in labour patterns. So without going too far away from the natural resources theme, I'll start with the gentleman from New Brunswick and then over to Newfoundland.
What needs to be done to prepare your province, your region for the job changes that are going to start to come as you get more natural gas drilling, as more construction jobs become available? I know you're hoping to recruit some of the children and grandchildren who have moved out west, but what else is going to be done other than to call the families home?
