From a PSAC perspective we actually have a number of significant areas with regard to labour development within Canada, working closely with institutions, but we've also been in discussions with the federal government.
I have a senior vice-president who heads up our human resource committee, which is well attended by a significant number of PSAC member companies. We're talking about identifying skilled labour within Canada, skilled labour that's already established and that we can identify across Canada and map to needs in western Canada in the oil and gas services sector. We've published those reports through the Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada as well as with the University of Alberta.
We're also identifying six significant skilled labour shortages with respect to trades. We're working with institutions, as well as with the federal government on the immigration side, to identify skilled labour and trades equivalencies around the world where necessary, but across Canada first and foremost. As well, we are working with first nations, developing programs with groups to introduce folks into trades there.
Those are two or three off the top of my head, but I'd be more than pleased to forward a more detailed report of what we're doing with respect to labour in this area. We have a very good relationship with the educational institutes, with SAIT and NAIT in western Canada, as well as three others across western Canada, in B.C. and Saskatchewan, as well as the university. A lot of effort on the part of the oil and gas industry as a whole is going on, including CAPP members in the other areas, to develop skilled labour within Canada, without a doubt.
