I will carry on, Mr. Chair. This is a question to Mr. Boutziouvis.
I was intrigued by your comments in terms of the shift, in terms of the quality of job, and you cited the CIBC jobs quality index, or something of that sort.
It occurred to me--and this has actually been one of the perceptions that has existed about the service economy--that in fact if there are job losses on the manufacturing side, what will replace them will be certainly something less. Your statistics seem to counter that.
I wondered if you could comment. If that is the case, then, how would you comment on the notion that as we go through this adjustment period, as Canada adapts to a more global framework--a supply chain, if you will--that in fact some of those manufacturing job adjustments might be crucial to that change? Is this in fact the lower end of that sector that perhaps needs to go away? Is that equally true on the manufacturing side, that these in fact are just important adjustments to strengthen Canada's economy?
