First of all, thank you for encouraging your son to take landscape architecture. That's always great.
I don't think we have enough time to discuss how we can do all of that, but I think a lot of it is education.
If we think about a lot of skilled labour, in many cases we depend a lot on immigrants, although I can honestly tell you that Canada is doing quite well compared to other parts of the world, even those that we consider to be progressive, like Denmark. I was there recently and they have about three graduates in horticulture a year. I feel for them. They don't have a labour shortage, but I feel for them regarding skilled labour.
Yes, an awful lot of it is education, and I think it's for all the skilled trades, not only us, although we care about ourselves more. Ultimately, I think all skilled labour has an issue in regard to schools. A lot of it is education, public education programs that you can do, including prior learning assessment.
It's a definite issue for us. We are taking steps to work with colleges, universities, and high schools. I think a program was recently announced, where some high schools in Ontario are going to take a similar stance to those in Quebec, with CEGEPs, and they're going to specialize in horticulture or in certain trades.
But I feel education is the way to go, working with industry to really know the skill sets we and others, like Harold's company, require when they get to the workforce.
