Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you all for your presentations.
Mr. Dias, I am going to start with you. Apprenticeships have actually come up a lot in our marathon sessions over the last four days, and you touched on several. In fact, you touched on one that is very important to me and one that we haven't really heard about: getting people with disabilities into the workforce.
I'm from Ontario, so I know it is different in different provinces. You tied it directly with infrastructure investment. How do you and your membership see it in terms of tying it directly to an apprenticeship opportunity?
What I have heard, certainly from building trades, is that they will provide a lot of the training, but they cannot get certified because there are not a lot of apprenticeship spots. These individuals can't actually then operate in the workforce.
Is that the same kind of problem that you're seeing? How do we help fix this through infrastructure investments?
