It's a big area to try to respond to.
Saskatchewan has what's called Construction Careers Saskatoon.It's also in Regina and Prince Albert, I think. They have aboriginal job coaches to prepare their clients to understand the jobs they're going to. It has worked very well in the commercial industry. You have a large project at one location, and you can hire four or five aboriginals so they at least have a relationship with their own people on that site.
The residential system is a problem. We send one person to this framing crew employer and one person there. On site, they're the only aboriginal, and that creates too much friction. So we're now trying to reassess the residential program.
We're going to have to find different ways, but there are established vehicles. Yesterday I was at a multi-sector meeting. They're looking at trying to set up systems across the province where the food banks are. The skills training development needs to happen for these people so they really understand the expectations when they come to the job.
In residential, we are piecework oriented. The job has to get done. It's not sit-around time; it's work time. I think we have vehicles. Hopefully we can find solutions to make it work, but industry has to get to the table. We're trying to do that with the residential program.
