Very quickly, Mr. Martin, first of all, I'm from a community just outside your riding that had its one employer shut down about 15 years ago, so I know the pain you're feeling when you speak of that.
I believe it was Mr. Murphy who mentioned that several years ago the EI account did have a mobility provision, which paid for, essentially, travel from one area of the country of high unemployment to others of low unemployment.
Our industry right now is short of workers. It has not been made public, but a report coming out in several weeks will show that we need roughly 300,000 workers between now and 2015. We need a way to get people from where there is no work to where there is work, and in the construction industry there are a lot of places like that. So one of the recommendations that in fact your committee made in your recent report on employability was to put in place a mobility provision to allow workers from high-unemployment areas to go to low-unemployment areas. We would support that and think that should be reinstated within the EI system.
