But I know that, for example, there are more than a million people in the city of Toronto who make less than $10 an hour, which is about the poverty level. Now, some of them, as you say, may be students, although today's students are not like when I went to school, when I could work in the summer and pay my tuition. Today students are carrying a huge level of debt and certainly need more income from their work experience. But I do certainly talk to people every week who are trying to support themselves and their families. They're working in the food service sector, and it's a great challenge for them.
I think that work in the food service sector is reputable work. It's important work. Feeding society is important work, and I think that with our busy lifestyle today, eating out is more common for people than it was, say, in my parents' day.
So I'm interested in your ideas about how we help people who spend not just a few months as a student but significant parts of their working lives in this sector, how we help them make a living in this field and provide a job through which, if they do spend years in the job, they can actually support themselves and their families.
