I'm the co-chair of the Construction Sector Council labour market information committee in Saskatchewan, along with my counterpart from the commercial sector. I'm also the representative on the Construction Sector Council new home building and renovation labour market information national committee, and we're working hard really at trying to develop instruments that identify need for our future.
I'm looking at how to survey our employers properly to get the information we need to go to the school systems and identify the real need out there for training. In housing, we're into a pilot project, but what we're working on is really an extensive series of products that would go into the cost estimators to work with all these specialty trades to say how many man-hours it takes, how many framer man-hours as a specific, in this type of product, on site, and go through all the trades that way and identify, then, the labour component per unit.
Working with CMHC, as we do all the time, we can forecast the volumes we're probably going to produce in each province. And if we can identify it by that type of selected individual number of man-hours for each of our specialty trades on a site, in a townhouse product, in a single-family product, in a two-storey product, it's a much more accurate approach. It's a massive task, and we're doing that.
