Thank you for the question.
We think the federal government could do a better job through mechanisms that already exist—like Statistics Canada—in gathering data not only on employment currently but where we forecast employment to be in five years and 10 years, particularly when it comes to the energy sector.
We know that the government has made a lot of investments and commitments in transitioning away from the traditional oil and gas, which is primarily more active in certain parts of the country like Alberta or Newfoundland. In order to be able to accurately know how we need to retrain workers and where they'll be able to move, we need the government to work alongside us in tracking where we think energy needs will come from in the future and where those workers will need to move.
I think we can use programs like Statistics Canada, but there may also need to be external resources used as well, and that might be something we might be able to work on together through the new sustainable jobs secretariat.
