Thank you, Minister, for being here.
I want to talk a little bit about the targeted initiative for older workers. The sectors in the economy are changing, and as they change, of course jobs are lost. I was talking to a fellow in the steel industry. He told me that to produce one tonne of steel only takes 1.8 man-hours. It's unbelievable.
There are a lot of older workers who have to be retrained. You have budgeted $75 million over three years for renewal and expansion of this target initiative for older workers. I just wonder if that expansion would help the criteria for community eligibility also. Will more communities be able to participate in this program?
