Status of Women committee  Actually, no. I'm going to get back to you on that, because originally I thought labour had been invited to this, and I'm not comfortable giving you a precise answer. But we will give you one through the clerk, if that's acceptable.

Status of Women committee  I know the number we're using in the blue-collar occupations is actually 72¢. When we talk about some of the blue-collar jobs, I think we're talking about non-traditional jobs, the trades, construction, etc.

Status of Women committee  I'm not sure if I'm saying that. Christina, do you have...?

Status of Women committee  Yes. I wouldn't necessarily refer to unionized jobs, because I don't think all blue-collar jobs equate to blue-collar jobs, but I should probably dig down a little deeper on that. I know the 84¢ was across the economy, and there was a study that demonstrated that in the blue-coll

Status of Women committee  Yes. I'll do it through the clerk.

Status of Women committee  I don't have the numbers with me, but I certainly think we have the numbers of people who've benefited, which, unfortunately, are significant in real terms.

Status of Women committee  I don't have it with me, but I can certainly get it to the researcher and share it with the committee. I believe Treasury Board and the Public Service Commission have kept those pretty carefully.

Status of Women committee  Our role is a callous one. Basically, the training has been devolved to the provinces, and there's been an attempt to clearly delineate between the training and.... We're very involved in labour market information, and we have the EI programs, but with respect to the on-the-groun

Status of Women committee  Yes, there is. About 20 years ago you had not enough jobs for too many people. Before the recession, we were dealing with not enough people to fill too many jobs. Then the recession came, and there's been an impact on that thinking. A lot of people are now thinking that after the

Status of Women committee  We'd be happy to provide them.

Status of Women committee  As indicated, we'll certainly provide more information.
