Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on her speech about a matter that understandably evokes strong emotions. We are talking about the jobs of thousands of people and a sector that has been weakened by these times.
A little earlier, I heard our colleague from Winnipeg North call on us to be open-minded. I would like to point out to our colleague that only the Bloc Québécois has been insisting for months that we should diversify and invest in different expertise, which would make it possible for Alberta's workers to develop other skills and be able to survive without being dependent on oil. I would like my colleague from Edmonton Strathcona to comment on that. She mentioned it in her speech.
What avenues should we explore to develop new expertise that will allow Alberta to transition to other activities?
As my colleague mentioned a little earlier, the oil industry is almost finished.
