Yes. I agree with your approach that we have to be careful where the burden gets put. The way I'd look at it is that we need to embrace the fact that this technology is coming. There will be automated cars, electric vehicles, whether we like them or not. I don't think we should fight it, we have to embrace it and say this is going to happen. Then I think we also have to make sure there is a transition program for the people in those roles. You mentioned a great example of truck drivers.
That's an important job segment in Canada, and today there are driverless trucks in Utah; it's there. We have to think about what those truck drivers are going to do. I think we should involve the trucking companies, educational institutions, and the governments in asking what these people do next. If we say it's their issue, they have to deal with it, we're going to have a big problem because of the scale of what we're dealing with. I think there are things that a 45-year-old truck driver can do. As was mentioned before—I don't know if it was Mr. Albas or who—I don't think we're going to teach them code, but there are other roles they can play.
One advantage we have in Canada is that we're small enough that we can get these different groups together to do something. Stuttgart, Germany, has a big issue coming their way. It's diesel engines; it's an economy in its own right, and they're now saying they have to get together, because they know automated electric vehicles are going to be the future, their complete industry base is not built for that. How are they going to work together to figure out how to retool their workers who are making engines to be doing electric vehicles, which are a completely different technology? What safety net are they going to put in place?
We have to get all groups working together right now. We know that isn't rocket science; we know which jobs are going to be affected. Even financial services, high-paying jobs, some of the wealth managers are going to get automated, and what are we going to do with those people? I ask because if we just dump them on the street, we're going to have a bigger problem. We have to get education, business, and government together with—to your point—very practical.... In a specific region, what do we do specifically to help people that's real, not academic?
