Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Sticking with Mr. Buy for another question about ferries, in your last response you were describing in some detail the challenges around staffing and around recruitment and succession.
At our last meeting, I reached out and corresponded briefly with Kris Olsen, who is the mayor of the Village of Queen Charlotte on Haida Gwaii, and asked if he had any ferry-related questions that he wanted me to relay. That's also the topic that he wanted to know about. He wanted to know if the ferry operators, and in particular B.C. ferries, I think, have succession planning in place, particularly for ship engineers and mates.
Speaking to the larger issue of succession and retirements and recruitment of employees in this sector, do the operators have plans in place, and are they working proactively on the challenge of ensuring they have enough staff to operate the ferries and support communities?
