Reflecting their concern about the skills challenges facing Canada, the Canadian Labour and Business Centre’s Board of Directors sought funding from Human Resources and Social Development Canada for a Workplace Partners Panel (WPP) initiative that would allow business and labour to take a lead role in examining the skills shortages and demographic issues, identifying their key features, and proposing directions for governments, business and labour to address these. The Viewpoints Survey is a key background piece to this initiative. It examines the perspectives of business, labour, and public sector leaders on these issues.
