Our hope is that we could get a program stood up fairly quickly and that would begin with an initial investment in the budget.
There's a logic to this program being cost shared with provincial governments or territorial governments. I think there's a reasonable expectation that a number of provincial governments would be keen to cost match with the federal government.
I'm in British Columbia. I think the B.C. government might well be interested in that, as well as the Manitoba government, very possibly the Quebec government and the P.E.I. government. I'm thinking about governments with very active climate plans. I think there's a place here for partnership with post-secondary institutes and with the labour movement for the apprenticeship piece of this.
You can sort of see a trajectory, looking south of the border. It was a year ago in September that the Biden administration announced an American Climate Corps. It invited input from young people and community organizations about the nature of what those jobs could be. It rolled out the program early this calendar year. The first 10,000 young people were employed this past summer.
It can happen when the will is there. It can happen very quickly.
