"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"207941\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The industry is very capable in terms of worker mobility because it is an industry that has depended, when it has needed somebody, typically on the jurisdiction next door. So they usually have a very good understanding of their colleagues' work and skills and capabilities. Our primary trades are mostly red seal, which means that they are of course part of a cross-Canada curriculum process. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"207942\" data-originallang=\"en\">So worker mobility is possible. The thing is, it's not always possible in the context of what the worker wants. To my point about cross-jurisdictional choices that people might make, we have significant need for workers in the north, in small towns and rural areas, and, as you know, Canada is becoming increasingly urbanized in terms of its workforce population. The folks we depended on, particularly our farm community, which used to be a very good source of people who would want to stay in small-town-whatever and work for the local power company as an off-farm experience, are not there for us any more. The farm population between the last two censuses has dropped 30%. So here we are extremely challenged to find our small-town people with the reliability support.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"207943\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, sir.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"207941\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'industrie s'occupe tr\u00e8s bien de la mobilit\u00e9, car elle a toujours d\u00fb, en cas de besoin, faire appel \u00e0 d'autres, le plus souvent \u00e0 la province voisine. D'habitude, chacun comprend tr\u00e8s bien le travail, les comp\u00e9tences et les capacit\u00e9s de ses coll\u00e8gues. Les principaux m\u00e9tiers de notre industrie sont vis\u00e9s par le programme Sceau rouge, ce qui veut dire qu'il y a un programme d'\u00e9tudes qui s'applique dans tout le Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"207942\" data-originallang=\"en\">La mobilit\u00e9 des travailleurs est possible. Mais pas toujours dans le contexte que le travailleur souhaite. \u00c0 propos du choix qu'il peut faire d'aller dans une autre province ou un autre territoire, il faut dire que nous avons de grands besoins dans le Nord, les petites localit\u00e9s et les zones rurales. Or, comme vous le savez, la population active du Canada s'urbanise de plus en plus. Ceux \u00e0 qui nous faisions appel, particuli\u00e8rement dans le milieu agricole qui \u00e9tait un excellent bassin de gens qui voulaient rester dans les petites localit\u00e9s et travailler, en dehors de l'agriculture, pour la compagnie d'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 locale, eh bien, ces gens ne sont plus l\u00e0. Entre les deux derniers recensements, la population agricole a diminu\u00e9 de 30 p. 100. Nous avons beaucoup de mal \u00e0 trouver des gens des petites localit\u00e9s \u00e0 qui nous puissions nous fier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"207943\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur.</p>"
