As far as the labour shortage is concerned, to some extent I don't think it's a retention issue. It's true that this industry, especially in the commercial sector, is cyclical and extremely sensitive to the vagaries of the economy. Certainly, by diversifying the Canadian aerospace ecosystem, particularly by focusing more on defence, we could help increase its resilience.
In addition, the labour shortage is not so much a retention issue as it is a problem of the age of workers. The average age of our aerospace members is over 45. These people will be retiring in the coming years. Schools that offer aerospace training, both in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada, are experiencing a recruitment problem. There is work to be done to try to attract young people to these jobs. To do that, we have to make them understand that the Canadian government will do its part to secure these jobs and that, through procurement contracts, it will ensure the viability of certain activities in this sector by giving priority to local businesses to carry out the work.
I don't know if that answers your question correctly.
