Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is very nice to see you today. I am always impressed by the quality of witnesses we hear from and the submissions provided.
Thank you so much for what you're doing for this committee and especially for this country.
My questions are for Mr. Blackburn, from the Quebec Council of Employers.
Mr. Blackburn, I give you my respect.
For everyone's benefit, I should point out that Mr. Blackburn served as a member of the National Assembly, so he knows a thing or two about the issue before us today.
I also want to recognize Mr. Hamel, from the Quebec Council of Employers.
Mr. Blackburn, thank you for your contribution. You cited one figure that surprised me.
You said that there are currently more people unemployed than jobs available. Is that correct?
