I can only confirm as a demographer that in the Atlantic region we do see a greater proportion of young adults leaving these rural areas than we see elsewhere. One of my slides compares the rural areas of the Atlantic region to those located in the prairie provinces, and you obviously can see that the rates of out-migration are way higher in the Atlantic region.
That raises questions, I would say. Is this happening because there's a mismatch between the skills of the young adults and the labour market? It may be. I as a demographer don't have the answer, but definitely there's a different pattern in the Atlantic region than there is, for example, in the prairie provinces. Our numbers at Statistics Canada do confirm that.
