I will be very brief. I'm going to say yes. I think there is significant opportunity to bring foreign workers in on the driving sector.

What we're finding in Canada today is that the younger generation are not aspiring to be truck drivers, so we have to find them somewhere. I think immigration is the way to go.

I will defer to my friends at the Teamsters to offer further comment.
