Citizenship and Immigration committee  If it's all right, Madam Chair, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will start. Then we'll turn to Employment and Social Development Canada, and then go to Statistics Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, committee members, thank you for giving me this opportunity today to present some key observations on the Canadian labour market. I would like to use my time to focus on the country's labour supply and demand dynamics, and particularly the contribution of immigrants

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question. In recent years, we have conducted more focused studies, including those for the Atlantic regions. We have worked with our colleagues at the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency to conduct an analysis of the aging population, unemployment rates and jo

Status of Women committee  No, Madam Chair. We are starting with me. I will be presenting on our behalf.

Status of Women committee  Madam Chair, committee members, I would like to thank you for the opportunity today to share with you some observations on women's unpaid work. In the time I have, I would like to begin with a portrait of unpaid work in Canada, including caregiving. The second part of my present

Status of Women committee  Madam Chair, if I understood the question correctly, it's about giving a figure or value in terms of the amount that unpaid work would represent. Is that correct?

Status of Women committee  I can start, and I will ask my colleagues Vincent and Tina if there's anything to add at the end. The value of household work in Canada was last updated in 1992.

Status of Women committee  Madam Chair, I will turn to my colleague, Tina. She can maybe address the frequency of the general social survey and when would be the next time that we will be measuring the unpaid work.

Status of Women committee  Thank you for your question. I'm going to give a two-part answer. First of all, in my statement, I referred to some statistics from a voluntary data collection survey that was carried out in April. More detailed results will be published next week by Statistics Canada. We'll gi

Status of Women committee  I'd like to clarify something. The last time we determined the dollar value of invisible work was 1992. I don't have the information with me that I would need to explain how we calculate this value in terms of gross domestic product, or how unpaid work constitutes a production f

Status of Women committee  I'm going to ask my colleague, Ms. Chui, to give you some details about the context in which questions about unpaid work are asked in the general social survey.

Status of Women committee  I can make a start. It's really a matter of definitions pertaining to production and consumption. There are several schools of thought about how to measure, quantify, and assign a dollar value to, unpaid work. But on the subject of measurements used to understand the relative c
