Starting off with the agricultural and nursery colleges, we have a few. Olds College, in Alberta, is just outside Calgary. We have Guelph University for agriculture and nursery programs, and the rest are colleges within Toronto. But most of them tend to be rural or semi-rural, not towns of 6,000 or 7,000 people, and again not a metropolis like the Greater Toronto Area.
It's tough getting people to study agriculture and horticulture. It's not perceived by youth to be a glamorous career, or a career. A lot of people want to be doctors or lawyers, and they aren't necessarily looking at the trades. The trades have become a dirty word. It's unfortunate, because the trades are a very respectable business and are very profitable for most people who stick with it.
Hopefully that answers the question.
With regard to jobs in Quebec, you made a good point. It is tough work, and a lot of people don't like doing it. A lot of Canadians don't like doing it. I think the agriculture sector has also seen that. It's why the foreign worker program has worked well for them. Again, I think it's a short-term solution.
You were right when you said people who are 62 years of age won't go to work in a nursery, but we'd welcome them to come and work at a garden centre. I think someone who's 62 years old or even older would provide the customer service that we need. If they would only look at our industry as a possibility, we'd love to have them.
