I understand that level of literacy has not changed in approximately 10 years, which is a very disturbing trend. I assume that as part of this employability study we will look to policies that can both help remedy this very serious problem to Canada's competitiveness and help us move forward.
Do we have any way of identifying the level of underemployment? I was a city councillor for the city I lived in, and I met with a number of people who were barely making it in the economy, housing costs being so expensive. Judging from our discussions, they seemed radically underemployed, given their potential. I'm wondering if we have any way of assessing that, if you could comment on that.
And then I'd like to get the answer that I see John has.
