Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, sir.
I thank all of the witnesses for being here this morning. Their comments are very relevant.
Mr. Dostie, in your presentation, just like several previous witnesses, you mentioned a direct correlation between a lower level of education, or a lack of basic skills, and a low level of success in the apprenticeship programs.
In Scotland, when someone begins to receive employment insurance benefits, they have to take a literacy test, and if they have a low score, they have to sign up for a literacy program while they receive the benefits. Do we not need to deal with the basic skills issue if we want the apprentices to get better results in their programs?
