Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much for being here. It's really quite wonderful to have the educators and those who are the practical people in terms of the trades.
I wanted to start with you, Mr. Smillie. You were talking about the transition from apprentice to journeyman and how very difficult it is--fewer than 1% of women actually make it. You said subsequently that even for young men it's difficult because of lack of stability, the cycle of the work schedule, hours and the flexibility of those hours, illness, children, and moving to other provinces. Those are certainly onerous barriers.
I'm wondering, how many men actually then complete the program, in light of those barriers?
