Human Resources committee  Sure. I'm happy to take that question and speak to apprenticeships. I think one thing that's really important is that there's recognition that skilled trades are vital to Canada's economy. Apprenticeships really help skilled workers, and especially young people starting their career, to connect with businesses and find well-paying jobs.

Human Resources committee  Certainly, we are working hard to increase diversity among apprentices, and get a more broad range and representation among Canadians into the skilled trades. That's one of the reasons, as you may have heard in my description, that part of the program is focusing on under-represented groups.

Human Resources committee  Thanks, Lori. The care economy is really dominated by women. There is work under way. We've noted during the pandemic the importance of workers in the care economy—health care workers, people working in long-term care facilities and so forth. Another thing that has been noted is a lack of sufficient workers in that sector across the country.
