I think support for apprenticeships has been useful. Skilled trades are basically an area in which we're already facing severe labour shortages, and it's only going to get worse. I think tax credits, on the other hand, are maybe not the most important thing on that front because the demand is there. Perhaps the most important thing comes down to interprovincial cooperation and the fact that apprentices who change provinces in the middle of a program lose their status. We need to have a more national approach to the apprenticeship process, because people are dropping out along the way. The biggest issue isn't getting people into apprenticeships; it's making sure they stick with the program and complete their qualification.
