Thank you very much, Chair.
I'm happy to be able to ask another round of questions. I want to follow up. I think Mr. Larson was the only person who spoke in his presentation about the skill shortage, but it's certainly come up since then in conversation. It's a vexing problem for us right now, because we have high unemployment in some parts of the country and we have labour shortages in other parts of the country, particularly in Alberta in the oil sands, and we've certainly spent a bunch of time at the human resources committee talking about that unique circumstance.
One of the issues, of course, relates to labour mobility, which is a bit of a fix to that situation. I had put a bill before Parliament, C-201, which was supported by the building trades, and I'm sure, Ms. Annesley, your organization supported it as well, and many contractors did. It would have allowed building and construction trades to write off their travel and accommodation expenses if they worked more than 80 kilometres away from home.
I wonder if I could ask all of you if you support that kind of initiative as part of the solution. I'm not at all suggesting that it's the ultimate fix, but I would very much like to have your views on record on that.
Ms. Annesley, maybe we could start with you.
