Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to all of the witnesses. I was thinking, as you were making your presentations, that you represent the professions that so many parents aspire that their kids will get into. It's great having you all here in one room.
I do have to say, since we have some health care representation, that I just went through quite an intense experience with a family member in the health care system. I tell you, after a long hospital stay, access to some of the best physicians on the continent, and a very successful outcome, I have nothing but singing praises for our health care system--and we didn't have to produce a credit card at the end of it. It was a very successful experience, thank goodness.
A couple of you raised specifically issues around demographic changes or generational changes in your professions. I'm sure all of you are facing that.
Mr. Turk, you raised an issue about perhaps a deteriorating quality in the kinds of jobs that are resulting.
I'd like to ask each of you, what are the challenges you're facing with that generational change, and what are the strategies you have in place in your professions to meet the demands, not just for today but for the future?
