What I drew attention to were the demographic challenges that Canada has and the reality that employers will not find the skills they need to carry on their businesses. There are a number of solutions to that problem. One is immigration—that can do something for us, not a lot, but something—and certainly ensuring that our fastest-growing demographic, our aboriginal population, is more successful in education. Currently, the number of aboriginal post-secondary graduates is falling, not increasing, and that is shameful, simply shameful.
