Mr. Minister, on page 4, you talk about matching supply and demand in the labour market. According to the outlook for the Canadian labour market, about 5.5 million job openings are expected for 2006 to 2015. Emploi-Québec has confirmed that by 2011, 700,000 jobs could be vacant in Quebec.
How is the government ensuring that the skills of Canadian workers will be sufficient to meet the labour market's requirements? How much has the government invested in skills training under the labour market agreements, and what provinces have signed these agreements?
