Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to have the privilege to stand once again in the House and talk about an issue that is important to Canadians.
I have a lot of sympathy for people who are over the age of 50 or 55 who lose their jobs, especially in the current situation in this country when many of them find themselves unqualified for some of the new positions that might be available to people just out of university. Some of these older workers have been trained in older technology.
When I first started teaching many years ago I actually taught my math students to use a slide rule because computers had not yet been invented.
