Of course.
In addition to the measures that must be put in place to ensure the viability of the industry and enterprises, there must also be specific measures for workers. I am thinking of employment insurance, specifically.
At this time there are work-sharing agreements in place, for maximum periods of 38 weeks. We would like that to be extended to 76 weeks, for instance. That would give people more time. Eligibility for employment insurance could also be extended by 20 weeks. You could also introduce measures to support worker mobility. When workers have to move to find jobs elsewhere, they need help. There could be allowances to help them move. We could also prioritize skills development for workers.
So, those measures could be put in place.
There is a great expression that we've had for years and years about Dofasco: “Our product is steel. Our strength is people.” When we talk about that, let's make sure we don't weaken the strength of the industry by one iota. That's where we're coming from.
