What I was referring to is essentially Canadian workers. A lot of money was being invested, whether provincially, federally or municipally, into training in the skilled trades, but the solution is aligning the policy to match putting Canadians first. In the free trade agreements, through the examples I gave, they're allowing foreign workers to come over for specialized trades. When we're seeing these specialized trades doing the exact same work our members and our workers do every single day, then that gets concerning, because now you're getting into the general trades. It's not specialized.
We're not saying there is no need for workers, especially specialists, to come. We're just saying that work that can be done here should be done by the people who are being trained here, spending the money here and investing here. The trade gap really is.... We hear about the shortage, but, quite frankly, we're not seeing the shortage. We're hearing about the shortage, but we're not seeing it yet.
The way we work is that we go job to job. Not every job is back to back. Last month, you could have asked me, and I could have said, “We're full-out. We're going. We're ready.” This week, it's a different conversation now. It's just the way the industry goes. We go where the work goes, and we need to have it, so that there's consistent work here. The work that is being done here needs to be done by the Canadian workers who are being trained by all of us.
