What happens to the general long-term rate of growth in Canada? When you look at the Western world at the moment, everyones sort of struggling with this. There is a suspicion that we suffer from secular stagnation. What are the ideas youve got that will make Canada outdo that?
One of the things at the root of the worries or anxieties that so many people have is that they see their jobs being replaced by automation. By AI. By robots. By various innovations and improvements in the technology that surrounds our workplaces. Instead of saying, OK, well, how do we slow down the pace of automation and protectthrough various barriersour workforce?, what weve chosen to do, and it was at the center of the most recent budget weve put forward a month ago, was how do we prepare citizens, our workers, to be part of the revolution in how our workplace functions? How are we encouraging K-to-12 students to learn how to code? How are we encouraging access to university, to career colleges, to technical and vocational schools for our students? But also, how do we take people who are in the workforce already, who are looking at their industry saying, Wow, I need to change my industry or I need to get significantly more skills if Im gonna continue to have a job 10 years from now, and get them back into school? We put an awful lot of money that is focused on retraining and upskilling workers.
