LABOUR SHORTAGES, WORKING CONDITIONS AND THE CARE ECONOMY Report of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Robert J. Morrissey, Chair FEBRUARY 2023 44th PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSION On February 6, 2023, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development (HUMA) published its report on labour shortages, working conditions and the care economy. To help inform the report, HUMA held a series of meetings in 2022 with key stakeholders, including Dr. Aaron Burry, CDA CEO, and Dr. Richard Holden, CDA’s immediate past-president. Among the HUMA report’s 16 recommendations, it included two that CDA has long been advocating for: • That the Government of Canada (GOC) work with the provinces, territories, and other stakeholders to promote the alignment of educational and training opportunities in health care and other care economy sectors with future skills and labour needs; and further, that it consider supporting a wide range of strategies to make training in care-related fields more accessible, including through online learning, flexible training options such as microcredentials, and upskilling options for workers already in the care economy.

CDA will continue to emphasize that any government initiatives that seek to address labour concerns in Canada’s health care sector should consider the significant portion of health care that is delivered outside of Canada’s publicly funded system, in private settings such as dental offices.
