I can't speak on behalf of small employers, because we tend to be all large companies.

All of them become involved, because they all have structured risk management processes. Every year they evaluate their upcoming risks. Labour shortage is always high on that list. They understand the role of training and development of staff. That's why you have the experiences of both Hydro Ottawa and Toronto Hydro linking up with community colleges to provide it.

I'm sorry I can't answer for small business. I can answer for the 20%, not for the 80%, sorry.
