Madam Speaker, earlier I had the opportunity to ask one of our colleagues a question about how important it is that we recognize our stakeholders, working collaboratively with provincial and territorial jurisdictions, indigenous communities and so forth. Already this morning, one of the things that have been highlighted is the importance of making sure we have the skilled workers necessary. My colleague made reference to the Red Seal program and its 80,000 to 100,000 people over the next number of years, which is a serious investment by this government.
I wonder if my colleague could provide his thoughts on working collaboratively, as we have witnessed with the federal government and the Province of Quebec, or if he could comment on just how important the Red Seal program is to our nation in terms of building homes and other projects.
