Although this highly simplistic analysis may have held true several decades ago, it doesn't anymore. anymore. It is factually incorrect that Canadian small businesses are producing producing under-paid, burger-slinging jobs in . "sweat shop" conditions. Small business'owners, business'owners, after all, are responsible for creating the vast majority of all new 1 jobs --and good jobs--in this country. According to this survey, the biggest need for qualified labor exists in sales, clerical, managerial product assembly and repair and construction jobs. One reason for such high levels of skilled labor shortages can he blamed,on the Midden deficiency of baby boomers. This unavoidable factor left a considerably considerably smaller labor pool--particularly for the retail and service sector--to draw from. The federal government, however, should have seen this coming. Instead, potential growlh within the small business business sector has been stunted in part by a lack of adequate federally-funded training programs to helpmany unemployed unemployed Canadians obtain new and employable skills. Forced by necessity, CFIB research estimates that more than 60 per cent of its members provide on- the-job training for our young people. And with approximately 66 per cent of all young Canadians obtaining firsttime firsttime employment in a small firm, Ottawa has been able to neatly shift a large part of its retraining responsibilities responsibilities onto small business. CF1B has maintained the position that Canadians would be better served if Ottawa were to shift more money away from unemployment insurance and instead concentrate on re-training and improving literacy skills. Taking money out of the seemingly bottomless bottomless UI pit is something no federal government has yet had the guts to attempt. On the other hand, for a country that suffers from pockets of chronically high unemployment, it isn't easy to acknowledge that this problem exists. One aim of the next federal government government should be to begin nurturing a better marriage between out-of-job workers eager to develop skills and small business people eager to develop more highly skilled workforce.' It's something to consider as we draw closer to election day and a new .goverhment agenda.
