Mr. Speaker, our government is very concerned about the challenges facing the older workers who are left vulnerable in these communities.
We therefore have set up an expert panel for older workers. It currently is undertaking evaluation of measures to assist these older workers. We also have invested $70 million into targeted initiatives for older workers. We have many other programs, including the $500 million for the labour market agreements.
The government has taken action. We support Canadian workers and we will continue to do so.
