Further to Mr. Ruff's comments, I was hoping perhaps the clerk could provide the date on which the last report was completed. If it was prior to the pandemic, I think these labour shortages within the targeted sectors existed previously, but I believe they've been incredibly exacerbated by the pandemic and the current environment. If we could find out what date that was, if it was completed in the last 18 to 24 months even, I think it would be acceptable, but if was previous to that, I agree with Mr. Ruff's comments.
It may not be a priority given these other priorities we've identified, but it remains a critical piece of solving the labour shortage as well as, I believe, contributing to the economy well into the future.
