Thank you. I have three quick points.
A huge proportion of our productivity gap between us and the United States, for example--I think 40%--could be solved through basic literacy and numeracy training for Canadians. The federal government needs to do a lot more on the issue of national standards on training for labour mobility and issues like that. And I would recommend the members of this committee take a look at the employment insurance program as it pertains to maternity leave, the incentive they put in place for corporations and unions to bargain adequate maternity benefits, and the rebate system that works there. We have a program and a suggestion that we put to the last government and this government to do the same thing, to use the EI system to incent training by manufacturers and employers.
