Thank you, Mr. Payne.
One of our commitments at the Canadian Chamber is the result of having done our consultation. Hearing from businesses across the country made us realize there need to be much better connections between post-secondary institutions and the business community. Even on topics like this, skilled trades, you need to reach into high schools. There are lots of good examples of local chamber members deciding they need to make that overture. Maybe they could get a group of guidance counsellors together to meet business people from the community. Wouldn't that help educate and enlighten everyone about local opportunities?
We want to build on those types of initiatives. Our president has put the challenge to our chamber membership that we increase those connections and make those overtures more formal because it's critical to have programs that are better aligned to future needs in the local communities, and the business people are there to provide that.
