2. The problem is they don't have the people right now to up

production levels to what is needed. My son is a directional driller and he just worked 2.5 months straight and finally had to come home for a break and see his kids. The wanted him to go straight back but he decided to take some time for the family. He will go back next week but the problem is they want to start up a bunch of new rigs but they lost a lot of experienced people when oil prices were down and rigs shut down. They went to other industries, he was lucky enough to keep working through it all.

3. Yes but the oil and gas workers would see boom times again

and could move their families back to Alberta. Alberta is lucky to have such workers as your kids. They build skill in the good times for oil and gas. They move elsewhere (home) in the bad times for the industry.

4. Yes that is the problem with the industry, it is boom or bust. I hope they do

get some back, he would like to get back to a rotation.

5. 2.5 months is a long time to be away from family. Especially

when you have kids I would guess.

7. Yes he has 6 kids, 4 of his and 2 step children

It is hard on them all, including me, I have to step in to drive to hockey, soccer etc.
