As was mentioned before, the existing issue with the trades program and the apprenticeship program is that is geared in the end to the non-residential construction industry. So people go through a process of three or four or five years of in-class training and on-the-job training, and the only time they get a certificate of qualification is when they've finished all that. If somebody finishes when they have acquired the skills to work in the residential construction industry, they leave the apprenticeship program and go to work in the industry with no qualifications.
