That's one of the main issues our federation is facing. We are working extremely hard to try to remedy this labour shortage, which is a major problem in Quebec. The federation offers the Un emploi en sol québécois program, which targets several sectors of the economy. Because most—if not the vast majority—of new immigrants arrive in the greater Montreal metropolitan area, we want to encourage them to settle more in the regions to fill vacancies. In our prebudget submission to the federal government, we are asking for specific assistance to help retain experienced workers in the workplace. This federal assistance could help to offset the labour shortage.
