Yes, that's much better. That's perfect.
I won't repeat what Angela said, in the interest of time. I agree with everything she said.
There are a couple of things I believe we need government to do. For years there's been a big concern in this industry that there are not enough adequate, safe and secure parking facilities for truck drivers going across the country. This is an issue of safety for them because they can't find the places to pull over and properly get rest. The government needs to work together on providing parking facility infrastructure so drivers can get proper rest.
What can we, as an industry, do? We need to get out to the schools earlier. We can't start going to the schools when students are 17 or 18 years old, because in a lot of cases they may have already chosen a career path. We need to start getting out into the elementary schools and into the first part of high school and let the kids know a little earlier what the positives are and what the career path is. Then those conversations can happen with their parents at home. That's one thing we can do.
As an industry, we have to start to change our pay structure. We have to start paying more people by the hour and remove the pay by percentage and by mile or kilometre. I think having more consistent pay models for whichever industry someone is in would help us a lot in attracting new people.
Angela mentioned the funding. We certainly need that. On the autonomous feature, I fully agree with her. I think we need to use the autonomous feature to help recruit the younger generation. I don't like to call it “autonomous”; I like to call it “driver-assisted”. The younger generation is excited by technology. They may not want to stare out a windshield for ten hours a day, but if they know that the vehicle is being more automated and they're there more as a pilot on a plane—not now but down the road—and that their job is going to involve other tasks, that may make them more excited about getting into the industry. That's something I believe we have to start promoting and putting out there more often.
