On the first question, on the rate of unionization or the numbers of workers who have been unionized, the number of workers has been increasing, but the density or the percentage has been decreasing. At this point in Canada, 32% of unionized workers are doing quite well in unionization in the public sector. In the private sector, especially in industry, it's around 19%. We have been losing members, especially the steelworkers, through plant closings and technological change.
Who is benefiting from the precariousness of the situation? I think in the short term, as you say, the employer is benefiting. They have a new market; they can compete with us. They can put competitors over the table, they can threaten workers to close plants, they can threaten us with being temporary workers. People who have no status are also working in our field. In the short term, it's quite clear that the employer is benefiting.
Now, the concern is, as you say, the long term, and the one that won't benefit in the long term is Canada. When you have 59% of working people making less than $30,000, that implies that their spending potential and the country's possibility of growing economically is very limited.
