Thank you so much for such a pertinent question. I'll just jump to the heart of it because you've heard me preaching already. I'm so glad that you are a recent graduate who actually understands that the future of work means diverse solutions. Ratios are not within the purview of the federal government.
What you can do, though, is one, require all your new social infrastructure, public infrastructure projects to give points to bidders who are committed to registered apprentices. Two, when you look at what's being built, if you want what is being built to last for a decade or more, why can't we build roads for the next 30 to 40 years?
Let's go to the talent that is produced from colleges and polytechnics that are doing world-leading training in building envelope systems, for example, or green construction, or net zero homes.
Let's give points for the same workers who are highly trained. Basically, you'll get a double win. You build your infrastructure, but you build the talent that will build the next set of infrastructure as well. I would like to see your projects give that criteria.
