Thanks. I just wanted to debunk some myths. First off, as I said in my testimony, we are looking at this in a holistic manner, at both immigration policy and training, and we're doing a major training survey.
As far as the difference between our two groups is concerned, in our non-stock-market economy, when times are tough, we hold on to our people. In the stock market economy, when times are tough, they cut people.
Secondly, we did a major survey with a large firm, Hewlett Packard, asking Canadians their views of their dream job. They said it was owning their own firm. In the past, it used to be, “I want to work in a big business or in government.” Today they want to work in a small firm, or own their own small firm. That's been shown with public opinion surveys over and over.
Why is that? They see these jobs as high quality ones, with higher value for living, and there are a lot of things there. So I'd hate you to leave with the impression that only large firms have good jobs; that's not true. Actually 60% of total employment is in firms with less than 500 employees.
