Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
There are lots of questions on that, but I'll start one at a time.
In the last few weeks, we as a committee have heard a lot from various industry groups about the skills shortages they're facing in the next ten to fifteen years in all kinds of areas. It is everything from auto mechanics to electrical utilities, and many other fields as well. We hear about the baby boomers who are getting older and retiring; that's going to create all these shortages and a great demand for workers. What, in your view, does that mean? What impact do you think that will have on people with disabilities? To what degree do you think that will help, and what about barriers? Obviously there are still going be barriers that we have to concentrate on. What are they? What is the role of the Government of Canada, as opposed to the role of the provinces, in responding to those barriers and challenges? I know that's not a small question. Maybe seven minutes isn't enough.
