I'll look for this book with interest. I think one of the things to recognize, whether you term it a jobs war or the changing nature of work, is that because of trade and technology, a variety of tasks are being transformed and elements of them are becoming tradeable, if you will.
Highly sophisticated skills—don't worry, I won't use finance as an example, because some would be tempted to.... With diagnostic skills, for example, you can break apart the basis of diagnostics and outsource elements of the testing and analysis. We all know that you can outsource large amounts of programming and other elements on IT to other countries and form teams among people who have never met and are never physically in the same place.
The consequence of that is that there is more that's tradeable and that the bit that remains in Canada is the truly high-value-added component, which is good news. That leads to a higher return to that individual. It also puts a premium on our developing those skills, recognizing that there are elements of the other skills that could be outsourced over time because of the development of trade. That is something the appropriate people need to be alive to in the development of training, both retraining and university-level education.
In terms of what we hear from colleagues, I'm not sure that we get a general message. People are very focused. There's a little bit of jealousy, I guess.
