Thank you very much.
The shortage of skilled professionals is occurring across all sectors. In my role as vice-president, I hear form the private sector all the time. There are some mechanisms that we can ramp up in our country. For example, the tri-council funds a training program called the CREATE program, which has six-year-long funding. Dr. Banerjee is a graduate of that program. We brought him from Germany to come to Canada to do a Ph.D. and stay here.
We could also, within that program, create a bridging program for the new Canadians we bring here. Sometimes we do not connect them to meaningful training opportunities to get entry into the workforce.
I think we are a magnet for immigrants. If we could do that last piece of integration, we might have a pretty steady supply to the workforce into all of our sectors.
Thank you.
