Yes. I couldn't agree more strongly.
My own view is that for a couple of generations our society has been sending all sorts of cues to young people to do post-secondary academic formation, which is great, but in a way, we've devalued, I would suggest, semi-skilled and skilled labour—working with your hands—to the point where it's almost stigmatized, I think, in some respects, for many young Canadians. This may explain why, even though there are great good-paying jobs available in these areas, there's a paucity of young Canadians going into our vocational institutes.
I think a lot of this was perhaps done unintentionally in our education system, when provincial education departments shut down vocational high schools. I think that's something that provinces should revisit.
