We create movement, we create treaties that allow for movement of money.

We create opportunities for people to invest.

But we just don't see people and feel that it's important enough for us to create opportunities

A virtual community where you need these skills.

I mean, look, in a very small way, you've had the farm labor program out of Canada, the Caribbean people have gone to for years.

They go, they work, they come back.

It's a structured thing.

And do you see that that benefits both sides?

It works well because it helps the farmers in Canada and it helps the persons at home who don't have work at the time who have an opportunity.

So get the labor where the labor's needed and then get the money where the money's needed.

And so you're just bridging the gap basically.

And technology actually allows us to do it in a very seamless way now.

So that to my mind, if we just rolled up our sleeves a little bit,

and gave it a little effort, we could do a lot more.

Let's take Africa.

Every time I go to Africa, the amount of young men you see on the roads just waiting for work, working for opportunities.

And I'm saying, but there are other parts of the world that are in serious need of people.

And I'm not talking...

basic menial labor, I'm talking skills at all levels.

And I genuinely feel that if we can create the right framework for the movement of skills and labor, that the world would be a far better place than it is today.
