Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being with us.
What Mr. Johnson and Mr. Schumann had to say was music to my ears.
I was a teacher in the trades, specializing in professional and technical training. I also worked on pipeline and cogeneration plant projects at TransAlta Corporation, in Ontario, and I can tell you that labour mobility was indeed a problem in the skilled trades for decades.
Mr. Schumann, you gave the example of the red seal program. I am very familiar with the red seal endorsement, which was created to address the labour shortage in the trades, allowing the provinces to lend one another workers. Nevertheless, I don't know whether my fellow members around the table are familiar with the red seal program, so could you explain what it is, so they can better understand how it relates to Bill C‑5?
