That's great. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to ask a couple of questions to the representative from Statistics Canada.
You put out a report in July of this year on the changing nature of work. It talked about acceleration in the last few years of a shift in the Canadian workforce trends from manual labour to less manual labour. Your report shows that the share of employees who worked in, for example, managerial, professional and technical occupations went from 23.7% in 1987 to 36% in 2022, while employees working in production, craft, repair and operative occupations fell from 29.5% to just 20%.
My two questions for you are, one, what effects do you think AI might have had on these workforce trends, if any, and two, do you see any trends emerging over the next decade that you might be able to speak to?
