Thank you.
Ms. Amyot, having been involved in university and secondary education in a deep way, as a governor of Wilfrid Laurier University and in building a new university in my community—and a background of apprenticeship, which was brought up by my colleague across the way—this is a provincial jurisdiction. I wonder, through you, whether your organization would be willing to advocate to this new government....
They're continually talking about how they're somehow building new relationships with their provincial partners in various ways. I'm just seeing an opportunity here, and I'm asking if your organization would be willing to go to, say, the Province of Ontario and ask them to reduce the ratio of apprentices to tradespeople to appropriate levels, as it has in other provinces.
In Ontario right now, under provincial regulation, many of the trades are 1:1. Why don't people get into apprenticeships? Why is it hard to get the training out on the job site? It's because the Province of Ontario requires one tradesperson for one apprentice. Many other provinces are 4:1, 5:1, 6:1.
Is that something you think would benefit people who are in the trades in terms of getting solid jobs in the future? Is that something your organization would be willing to back?
