Minister, could I clarify, in the brief time I have left, that I'm not disagreeing with you that we need more trades workers? However, we also need more trades work, because apprentices need opportunities and places to use their skills so that they're ready to fill the workforce gaps we are going to see, especially as many older trades workers retire.
What's your response to the fact that we lost 16,000 construction jobs in the last month? What are the challenges we're going to see around apprentices' finding opportunities, in light of how, under your watch, youth unemployment is at 14.3%, especially in these goods-producing sectors? It's a high level of unemployment.
