I have a very quick question. The finance minister, in his 2013 budget, said, “we will ensure that government contracts and funding for infrastructure and maintenance support the employment of apprentices."
We have not heard anything more from any part of the government since that time. We have been trying in Toronto to get the local provincial Liberal government to actually support the employment of apprentices on major infrastructure projects with no success.
How is it that the federal government will actually achieve the hiring of apprentices?
