That's a good question.
I don't think it's necessarily related to politics.
We spoke about education-related skills. I would like to say that I fully agree with that.
I think we have a labour market that generally favours employment but that it is getting tighter. We've missed the opportunity to fully integrate youth into the workforce.
When we look at Canada's economic performance, it's important to point out that it varies greatly from region to region. If we look at the two main provinces where there is a high francophone minority population—Ontario and New Brunswick—we see that those are the provinces where the economy was generally much weaker. I think that the francophonie is at a bit of a disadvantage because of the general evolution of the economy in those two regions. Now, what can we do? That is a difficult question.
I would just like to quickly come back to a point that I raised previously. The demographics do not necessarily favour entrepreneurship. Regions with high francophone populations have been hard hit. It's difficult for the federal government to balance this kind of platform. Changes were made to Canada's employment insurance program, and we don't necessarily disagree with them. However, those changes have affected how generous the system is toward seasonal jobs, which have felt the impact as a result.
So these are difficult questions. How can we fix the problem? I think it is mainly the federal government's responsibility.
