I think you're absolutely right. With this transition, pivot or industrial strategy, training will have to be reviewed. So it's very important that we continue to invest in our resources. In Quebec, the Commission des partenaires du marché du travail to a great extent manages this match between industry needs and workforce training needs. We have to keep moving in that direction.
That said, I think that electromechanics specialists, for example, or other people in a skilled trade will be able to do similar work in the context of slightly different or higher added value production. Is there a need for more? The answer is yes. We need more apprenticeship programs. We need to further develop this workforce. We're on exactly the same page when it comes to that.
However, as Mr. Cloutier said earlier, it's important at this time to retain current workers in the sector who are in remote regions. As we know, it's more difficult to attract these people, because they tend to gravitate around the major urban centres. The market is not good right now, but it could improve. If we lose these people because we don't guarantee their income and financial security, but the market is recovering, where are we going to get these people? Where will Mr. Verreault get his workers? It's going to be complicated.
