We're very concerned about labour in general, not just shortages but the overall efficiency of how labour is organized in Canada's major ports. There are perhaps other models, other ways, that could make the system more efficient in how labour is deployed, but that is an issue the terminal operators and those who employ the labour have had a hard time overcoming over the years. It's an issue that a lot of folks don't want to talk about.
There was a general recommendation in the supply chain task force report about visiting labour as general theme. There was quite a bit of negative commentary the day after that report was released from certain government departments about bringing up labour at all.
It's a very sensitive topic and understandably so, but it is a very important one for all of our members. This is in a global context, not just a Canadian context. Maritime labour is crucial. It's absolutely necessary, but it is one of the gatekeepers, if you will, to efficiency. If you're operating through antiquated labour models and labour rules and the way that labour is organized and set up doesn't match with the way the industry operates today, then you have inherent inefficiencies in that alone.
