Wonderful. Thank you.
I know you're with Statistics Canada, but I did a little bit of research myself. I looked at private sector union wages on average in Canada, which I determined to be about $31.14. If you have a different number, please provide that to the committee.
I don't know if you can do this, but I looked at the private sector average union wage in the United States, and it's actually $41.17, so it is a $10-an-hour difference. If you could confirm that, that would be wonderful for the committee.
This goes back to the terrible trend we've been seeing in Canada with the decline in per capita GDP. We know there's a huge gap between Canada and the United States, and it looks like this discrepancy is hitting particularly hard in the private unionized sector.
Is that something you'd be able to provide to the committee?
