Would you say that the federal government made a mistake when it began to record the restructuring of the economy that came from the effects of globalization? In fact, should we have transition and direct assistance programs for workers who were victims of that restructuring because they were forced to change industry and who might, for example, need workforce training programs to renew their skills and capacities?
One of the problems we had, for example, with markets opening up from NAFTA and other free-trade agreements was the fact that there were very few concrete measures for workers who were going to be displaced because our manufacturing sector was going to weaken.
