We do not have any specific forecasts on the effect of automation on the forestry sector. We do have a variety of expert opinions and a study that has been done on the effect of automation broadly speaking on the economy. What it does underline, first of all, is that there is a wide range of potential outcomes. In many cases we see automation leading to more jobs rather than fewer because of the types of new opportunities that automation might create. In other cases, particularly for lower-skilled work, there is a concern that automation might replace that employment.
I think it's likely we will see some of these effects playing out, but it's difficult to say with a lot of precision how fast and how deep those will be.
Our programming is intended to ensure that Canadians in all sectors in all parts of the country have access to the ability to obtain the skill that would make them more resilient to the coming of greater introduction of automation—so digital skills, better essential skills and skills that are much more difficult to replace with automation, such as creativity and judgment. I think by ensuring that these are available to Canadians we can help them be ready so that if and when automation does become a broader part of their life and is more integrated into business processes, they will have the skills for that.
