I'd just like to add a couple of information points.
As we understand it, the sector councils themselves are going through this transition, but the sector council program, or what was formerly the sector council program, continues to have a budget, part of which is, as I understand it, to be allocated to labour market research. Hopefully, at some time in the near future, that program will be calling for proposals to conduct research. I don't know what the nature of those proposals will be. Karna mentioned some specific ideas that ITAC has. We also have specific ideas.
We believe that there should be baseline ongoing research, ongoing supply and demand, on what the current state is. It should be done on a regular basis, in far more depth and specificity and frequency than it is now, through a private-public-academic partnership. Then, using that as the foundation, we can do futuristic research, as Karna was talking about, as well as deep dives into specific areas.
Let's say that we have this problem that Morgan was talking about in Waterloo. Let's find out a little bit more about that, or how can the oil and gas sector in Alberta use ICT skills more effectively, or whatever it may be.
If you have those two foundational pieces in place, then, in fact, a lot of those kinds of specialized things could be funded more by the private sector entities that have an interest in them. And if government can kind of quarterback collecting the larger frame of information, but can do it extremely well—a couple of orders of magnitude better than we're doing it now—we would have a foundation for....
We believe that this could be a source of competitive advantage for Canada, if we do it well.
