Thank you for your question.
With respect to Newfoundland and Labrador, oil and gas accounts for about 25% of our GDP. In my opening remarks, I mentioned that we represent about 460 members. About 15% of those come from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick actually, because when Newfoundland and Labrador is doing well in the industry, Atlantic Canada is doing well, as well as Alberta and Ontario when it comes to manufacturing jobs.
When I look out my office window, the very familiar Atlantic towing orange vessels are there. That's a J.D. Irving company. Hundreds of people from rural Newfoundland and Labrador work on those vessels at high-paying jobs. They go back to the rural communities, volunteer and contribute to the tax base. I can't overstate how important this industry is.
