Mr. Speaker, I do not think there is any doubt that we are able to graduate the kind of talent necessary to operate. As I have mentioned, we have led the way in many respects in terms of gas technology and other facets of the refining industry which is part and parcel related to the petrochemical industry. We have led the way in that in terms of technology and in terms of costs of unit production.
We are having problems with an aging workforce. The technology has changed so rapidly that it is sometimes difficult for that workforce to appreciate or to have a full understanding of what the science applied is at that particular given point.
That is an industry-wide problem. It does not apply just to Canada. It is happening in the United States, especially in the gulf coast region where the industry must constantly upgrade its workforce, not because it is a poorly trained workforce but because the science and technology is changing to the point that these people cannot appreciate the complexities of the theoretical level of what is happening.
