Mr. Tobin, currently we have a lot of employers who are saying they can't find people to work. We have a lot of people who say they want to work and they can't find the right job. Obviously, at the very least, there is a bit of a mismatch going on.
I think we missed an opportunity when people were coming off pandemic benefits to try to train people into positions that were available. We continue to miss opportunities, I think, through the employment insurance system, to try to connect individual workers who are looking for the right job with employers who have real positions available and training people into jobs.
Then, beyond that, there are questions of public investment. If we're talking about climate change, whether it's in construction, manufacturing or other sectors, it's developing a work forecast so that employers can train people with confidence and onboard them for the work not just that they have right now but that they'll be planning to do.
I wonder if you could speak a little bit to how government might try to have a policy approach that is more particular than just asking people to train for an industry in which they hope to find a job, instead of trying to connect them directly with employers who could have a job waiting for them at the end of training.
