I sympathize with your constituent, because we absolutely have an opportunity in the skilled trades to do competency-based credentialing. It is a unique environment with lots of cases. This is not about what school you trained at, what your credential is, and where it fits but about whether you are actually able to do the job. The difficulty that we find many of the provinces and territories and their regulatory authorities have is that in Canada, the final exam is a multiple-choice exam, applied in English or in French, and it is not competency-based. Competency-based testing is extremely expensive. That's probably the reason it's happening.
Is there an opportunity here? There absolutely is. There is no reason why somebody can't prove that they can do the job and then be given some kind of laddering into an apprenticeship program or some kind of recognition. I do think the provinces and territories are struggling to find a way of doing this that is equal across the country. That's part of what Ray was talking about in terms of those directors of apprenticeship working in that area. Are there opportunities here? There absolutely are.
