If I may, Mr. Chair, it was the number 1 recommendation, but I'll move on. As I say, there are 11 recommendations in this report.
Going to the recommendation I spoke to earlier about youth, ensuring we have youth sticking around in the province is recommendation number 3. This is to encourage retraining and education programs by increasing their promotion and to offer incentives to workers and employers who use them.
It also says:
b) Review the Employment Insurance program to improve efficiency, increase fairness, and encourage professional development.
Again, this is key because right now we're losing an entire generation of young employees, potential employees, who are absolutely integral to the Alberta economy. To lose them to other countries is going to.... We're not going to get them back. They're not coming back at the end of the day. They're going to move to other countries and they're going to find a home there. Then when our economy does get back to where we hope it could and should be, at that point we're going to have a whole generation of workers who are no longer in Alberta. We will then have to again go through what we went through in the early 2000s, which was a tough time for us in Alberta. Also, it depleted a lot of the workforce in Atlantic Canada.
That's recommendation 3.
There are 11 recommendations in total. I encourage everyone on this committee to take this report seriously. Again, it's everyday Albertans who have helped write this report. It's their tears and their hard work that got us here.
With that, Mr. Chair, I'd like to call a vote on the motion. I'll hand over the floor.
