It would be helpful to this committee, if CUTA does arrive at any analysis of what the impact might be, to forward that kind of information to this pre-budget consultation.
Mr. Johal, I have a question for you. We heard from Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters recently at this committee that upwards of 700,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in Canada within the last decade. Ontario has gone from 16% of the labour force in manufacturing down to just a little north of 10%. Do you have any suggestions to this committee as to what a federal budget might do to reverse this trend, or help alleviate the loss of jobs in manufacturing?
