I'll let you know where to write the cheque, if you want to help us out. That's not an issue.
We've launched the initiative with our member companies, our partner companies. Like I said, it's called "Be a Seafarer". It's working. We now have apprentices going to school in order to fill the gaps, and we feel that we're going to get there. There's a worldwide shortage of seafarers, and as a Canadian industry, we're addressing it as best we can. I think we're going to be very successful in that challenge.
One of the things that has done a lot for us in the last year or so is that the rhetoric of getting rid of cabotage seems to have died down, which means our companies are willing to invest in the future. When you have someone saying that you might not have a Canadian flag in seven years, like was in the Emerson report, that makes it very hard for Canadian companies to invest, and it makes it very hard for the general public and young people to see a future in seafaring.
We've passed that and we're moving forward. We're getting to where we need to be. We're quite confident that we're going to be able to fill the gaps and look at a path to citizenship instead of temporary foreign workers.
