Given the crass nature of humanity, things like the apprenticeship incentive grant, brought in by the prior government, the apprenticeship completion grant, those sorts of things go a long way to making people understand that apprenticeship is actually a valuable commodity.
The other part of it is the Government of Canada could easily role-model the advantages to consumers and the advantages to employers in having apprentices. There have been a number of studies done by groups like the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, which say that for every dollar spent on an apprentice, the return to an employer is $1.67.
We shouldn't be limited by what we perceive to be the facts. We should actually have a chance to look at what the facts really are for apprenticeship. The fact is, it's older than universities. It is a 1,200-year training system that has continued with the contract of indenture being roughly the same as it was in the year 800. We must be doing something right.
