Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague and I thank him for his question.
I have indeed noticed the same thing, and yet there is a certain logic to it; it is something to be expected. The job market is not great for everyone. If a unionized company with too many workers operates according to seniority, young workers with less permanent ties to their jobs will leave.
There are solutions. For one thing, we need a decent employment insurance system that allows people to switch to something that matches their skills. There must surely be other positions of the same kind. We need to make it easier for people to get job training, return to school or take one-year reskilling programs. Sometimes, going back to school for three or four years can seem daunting, whereas a year might be just the thing. For that to happen, people need the right information.
