Human Resources committee  That's good stuff. Ms. Moreau.

Human Resources committee  This is basically for the CFIB. We've heard about work-integrated learning strategies. I've heard that there's a fear that the funds are being diverted to areas like clean tech, which is really important, obviously, but they're not being focused on certain sectors where the skill

Human Resources committee  Very quickly, I think we've all been in Ubers and cabs and so forth and end up talking to people who have come recently to Canada and are highly skilled. They could be plumbers, electricians, doctors, and they can't get certified to work in Canada. Mr. Bronk, is there a quick so

Human Resources committee  Would anyone else like to chime in on that?

Human Resources committee  While we talk about that, because I know you have expertise in AIDS and HIV, how do you balance the need to accommodate those in the workforce with episodic disabilities, especially with AIDS and HIV, with their right to the privacy of their medical records and their medical cond

Human Resources committee  Thanks very much.

Human Resources committee  Just on that, John, you talked about how most of the disability programs are work-triggered. What do you envision as the solution? I think you're leaning toward assured annual income. Is that correct?

Human Resources committee  Thanks to everybody for coming here, and especially for some of the heartfelt, personal stories. I know that it's very difficult, but it helps us to understand so that we can get the best result here. Mr. Prince, you talk a lot about some of the benefits, including EI. We're tal

Human Resources committee  When people walk in—say, they do explain—and they say, “I could be good this week and bad next week,” is the program suited to them right now, or is it again a push toward saying, “You're either disabled or not disabled?”
