I would like to go back the recommendations of the expert panel or working group.
I would like to hear your opinion on the recommendations, including that of updating labour standards in Canada. Training and learning are of course essentially regulated by each province and territory, but the expert panel did recommend improving the labour standards in the Canada Labour Code in order to better address the precarious employment situation of youth. With respect to the law pertaining to atypical positions, for instance, the report recommended regulating temporary placement agencies and encouraging respect for labour rights.
A second recommendation pertained to expanding EI eligibility, since the reality of atypical employment among youth makes it difficult for them to meet the eligibility criteria. Another recommendation pertained to producing better statistics. You have given us various statistics.
I would like your opinion on these recommendations in particular. When an expert panel tables a report, how does the department respond to the recommendations?
