I'll try hard.
We've certainly had a wide range of opinions on the potential crisis or there not being a crisis. I was glad to hear you say today that there could be one, but it's being well managed so it's under control.
I would like to pick up on the question of tradespeople and skilled workers. When PSAC was here they were very concerned that unless we had a specific apprenticeship program for our own skilled trades we would face a critical shortage in this area.
On your comment that once people are in the public service they generally stay there, it seems to me it would make sense that if we were training these people in the apprenticeship program for skilled trades positions, we might have a better chance of retaining them and mitigating this problem of a shortage in that field.
I'm just wondering if you could respond to that.
