Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for their presentations. We always listen to them with pleasure.
You have pointed out from the beginning that the challenges in terms of training were huge. However, there is a job shortage in Canada and Quebec. Even if everyone was trained for the jobs available, 80% of people currently unemployed would still be unemployed. I think it's important to mention that.
Could you tell me who is responsible for occupational training in Canada? Is it the responsibility of workers, their democratic organizations, unions, the state or employers? Within what framework should we work to meet that challenge?
I have an example that has nothing to do with your members. However, I think that it's important because it is telling. In Canada, Airbus and Boeing pilots must obtain a new licence and receive new training every time they have to fly a different airplane. Over the years, we have seen that Canadian companies increasingly prefer to bring in foreign pilots—often from Europe—instead of investing in their pilots' training. That may be the case in other sectors with temporary migrant workers.
How can we build a system where investment in training is encouraged so as to provide Canadians with jobs instead of bringing in foreign workers?
