I think we need to have recognition of a framer, for instance, which is always the best example in our industry, as an apprenticeable skill or an apprenticeable approach to the training; but it doesn't have to be that full red seal carpentry. If we can create that recognition for the broad range of skills within our residential industry, which covers off some of our renovation needs and some of those things, and give those people recognition and pride in their accomplishments—because many of them will never go beyond learning to be a contractor of their own, as a self-employed framing contractor or a performing contractor—they'll be more likely to go in that direction, unless they come back into a home building industry and become supervisory staff or builders, in the true sense. But we need to give them recognition for their skill, and that isn't there at the moment.
