Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for coming to the committee this morning. Your presentations have been informative.
Mr. Chapeskie, I'd like to start with you. You indicated the challenges of attracting and retaining people in your industry while recognizing that it's actually a very well-compensated industry. That has piqued my curiosity a little bit.
There are seven large, notable North American companies—Molson Coors, Ford Motor Company, John Deere, Lowe's, Harley-Davidson, Brown-Forman, and Tractor Supply Co.—that have abandoned DEI. As well, Google and Meta have said that they're significantly scaling back their DEI programs.
Can you tell me how DEI has affected the human resource aspect of the electricity industry in Canada?
