Thank you.
I think one of the challenges we've seen across the country is that oftentimes employers are.... I don't know if “forced” is the right word; I suspect that actually it's not. But they're resorting to foreign-trained workers because they can't immediately fill skill shortages, and I think in part that's because you can't train somebody overnight. To get a fully qualified apprentice, you're talking about years, not weeks or months. That takes a bit of planning, which is why I was asking about whether you had done any kind of forecasting to know whether you could locally train and then hire the skilled trades from within.
When you're commenting on that, I'd also like your comment on first nations communities in the north, because, as we know, unemployment rates are much, much higher in first nations communities than they are across the rest of the population. There is a huge opportunity there, I would suggest, to work with first nations for that kind of skills upgrading.
I know that I don't have very much time left, so I'll turn the rest of the time over to you.
