I'm glad to hear that they're trying to do that, because that's what we're trying to do too. Actually, Service Canada is working with companies like that. They're happy to work with them to develop work-sharing programs, to advise on the training options. If there is a layoff coming, Service Canada has been excellent about moving in quickly, working with the employer, the unions, the employees, to make those information sessions available to them.
