Certainly, we follow closely what's.... The shortage of skilled labour is very important. It has continued to grow despite the fact the economy has cooled somewhat. It's one of the factors we look at in our “Business Barometer”. In this month it's probably the second highest issue that's causing business constraints at the moment, in that they have a lack of skilled labour and trouble finding the people they need.
Definitely, it's something we track very closely. It's something we work on in terms of trying to match people with the skills that are out there and the needs that are out there. We are looking at things through the immigration system, as well, and potentially doing some work on improving things like the temporary foreign worker program, as well as permanent immigration. We are also making sure the skill matches and that people can move from one province to the other and not have to go through a whole set of new skills or training to do that.
Yes, there's lots of work being done and it's something we watch very closely.
