Our last round of questions will go to the Liberal bench. MP Ehsassi has generously offered his time slot to me, so I have a rare opportunity to question witnesses.
Interestingly, today we've heard a little bit about the ecosystem of the aerospace industry. We often think of the aerospace industry as being merely airlines, so I was delighted to have parts of the industry sector here that could talk about the other impacts.
One of the other areas that we keep hearing about is training. In the last Parliament—the 42nd Parliament—motion M-177 was brought forward by former MP Stephen Fuhr from Kelowna—Lake Country with respect to pilot training schools. We know there was a problem with respect to training pilots prior to the pandemic, and that, I think, has just amplified the problem. We talked a little bit about retraining people who already have the competencies, and we know that there is a system called PLAR—prior learning assessment and recognition, or reconnaissance des acquis et des compétences in Quebec—that will do just that. If somebody has the competencies already, rather than retraining them for something they already know, we just fill in those gaps.
I believe, Mr. Donald, you were the one who brought that up. Perhaps you'd like to speak to the importance of leveraging the tools we have in the tool box, so that we can get people off the bench more quickly and get them into those jobs that we are going to need in terms of the economic recovery that we have in front of us and so that they are not getting discouraged by retraining in something they already know.
