Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for joining us today.
I was excited to see the fall economic statement and I've been reading through it. I was pleasantly pleased with the whole document, but one section really caught my eye. When I think about my home province of Alberta, my city of Calgary and my constituency of Calgary Skyview, and when I think about workers and the opportunity for better wages for workers and sustainable jobs, I've never seen included, in my one year of time in office, an investment tax credit. On page 30, there's an investment tax credit for clean technologies and an investment tax credit for clean hydrogen.
I'm wondering if the member from the Department of Finance can talk about the inclusion of incentivizing companies through certain labour conditions. They will be eligible for an increased tax credit if they provide increased wages and ensure apprenticeship or training opportunities, increasing wages for workers and providing sustainable jobs.
