Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here.
Let's get on a more positive note. Let's talk about the 75% of the people who did find employment after the targeted initiative for older workers. One of the things I can recall as a member of Parliament is listening to the testimonials about the lumber industry, especially in Quebec. During the downturn in that sector many of the workers were retrained and went into the aerospace industry, where they found they were getting higher paid jobs with maybe less physical work.
Is that a correct statement, and are there any testimonials of other successes in that program that you could share with the committee?
