That is an excellent question.
In one older report, I pointed out that there were many risks inherent in revising the labour laws. That is obvious, and I was afraid mistakes would be made if people tried to go too far.
However, I want to remind you of the message I tried to convey in my statement today. There are three elements that must be considered when dealing with public employment policy and their potential repercussions.
We have to think carefully about labour laws. These laws were adopted in the seventies, eighties and nineties, at a time when the work force and the labour market were very different. If we decide to change those laws, we have to ask ourselves whether it is preferable to consider changing the labour laws, the social safety system, or the programs that encourage people to work.
We have to be thinking about the securité sociale as three components: the law; the system of social security, like income supports; and then how we encourage skill development and work en égalité. We can't focus on one lever or one component more than the other. We have to be thinking about how they work together and function together.
