Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses who are here today.
I just quickly want to follow up on some of the questions I've asked at previous meetings and so on. There seems to be a coalescing of an idea about the need for a sector-specific strategy for the aerospace industry.
I've asked previous witnesses about the need for the retention, the retraining and the recruitment of the workforce. A previous witness said that there is probably going to be a need for 55,000 employees in the sector by 2025. One witness mentioned a loss of about 33% of her workforce.
As we move into the future, I'd like to ask Mr. Whittaker, and then Mr. Bain or even Mr. Labbé about the needs.
Are there things we can do as a government to help the retention, retraining and recruitment for that skilled workforce you need?
