I will go in a slightly different direction and thank the witnesses for the responses. One of the issues I hear time and again from different employers is about the difficulties they have in finding skilled people to do a job. They are searching high up and low down. It could be any range of skills. Earlier today I had the opportunity to talk to a guy who is looking for a mechanic, somebody to repair trucks. He had an apprentice who went to Australia. He is looking high up and low down. I know a number of other manufacturing and healthcare businesses in my area have been looking to the Philippines for people with particular skills. Do the witnesses have any recommendations on how things could be improved in that area?
