Through you, Mr. Chair, to the committee member, thank you very much for the question.
In Ontario alone by 2025, we will need 350,000 more skilled trades folks. That's just Ontario. You know, when I spoke with IBEW, a gentleman from Manitoba gave me some really good insight. He said the majority of all major projects in Manitoba are done by folks who have travelled to Manitoba.
This is going to do a couple of things. It's going to incentivize people—these same folks who are paying exorbitant amounts of money for fuel, hotel rooms, flights and food—to actually want to travel for work. What I also believe it will do is catch the attention of the young men and women getting into the field and give them a reason to be excited to get into this field, so that when they're coming out of high school, they go find a skilled trade. If we make it affordable for them, we won't have all of the shortages going forward.
There are multiple factors, but there are a lot of opportunities there.
