Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you for being here today.

I come from a riding an hour north of Toronto, where Georgian College has a program focusing on the auto trades, which certainly encourages apprenticeships.

I want to delve a bit into what CARS has put forward, in terms of their proposal about the fifty-fifty cost-shared arrangement, to get your comments on what the cost of that would be for the federal government. What comments do you have for us on the initiative in budget 2006 for the apprenticeship training grant?
