"Ontario and Canada are undergoing seismic shifts in the workforce.
We face competition from growing economies like India and China and many Canadian jobs are being outsourced overseas. Rapidly changing technology is making many of today's work skills obsolete. At the same time, we face a shortage of skilled workers as more workers retire.
Canada's First Ministers and Prime Minister Paul Martin will be discussing these issues soon and it is critical that their conversation is informed and is focused on making changes that will benefit the economy and all Canadian workers.
We need your input - your thoughts and ideas about the challenges ahead.
Please read the attached discussion paper and take a few moments to answer the three questions at the end of the document. The results from this consultation will be presented to Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and Prime Minister Martin. "
