Thank you, Mr. Butt, for that question and comment.
I don't know how prevalent that type of circumstance is. Certainly, I am hearing quite a different set of comments recognizing the experience that experienced workers can bring. There is quite a bit of demand in this ThirdQuarter program, for example, from individuals looking for jobs, to continue working, even as they are a little bit older. There is a real recognition by a lot of the employers—I think there are 3,000 companies registered in that system—that there is experience and maturity and skills, and if there's the willingness on the part of the older worker to keep working, then that's a very good fit. I think it's the employer's loss if they are overlooking the opportunity to take on experienced workers.
The other important thing is that older worker employment is not apparently affecting youth opportunities. I think that's an important point to bear in mind; the statistics are not bearing out that it's having any significant impact.
I think there's an awareness. I think as more employers realize that they need everybody with experience and skills to bring to the positions they have open in a tightening labour market, they should be looking much more closely at those individuals who are interested in the positions and not overlook experience.
