Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Weymouth, some unions are still resistant to women taking up non-traditional jobs. I know you have done some outstanding work in terms of the auto trades, but some unions are still resisting. Some unions are very macho; they have a lot more men and very few women, and the women have a tough time integrating into these environments. I am thinking of the construction and electricity industries. In Quebec, Hydro-Québec has had some problems. Women were trying to get jobs, and they were totally squeezed out by men. It is very tough.
How do you explain your success in the auto trades? Can what you learned and what you did be transferred to other labour units? Are you in contact with them so you can share your information? I think what you have done is outstanding. It is critical to have women who do what you are doing and who offer training programs as you do.
