We support a Canadian training levy along the lines of Quebec's 1% law, to be put in place by the federal government. The training levy in Quebec has led to more workers benefiting from training programs.
I find there's something lacking when in Nova Scotia and in Newfoundland and Labrador high school kids look at what they're going to do with the rest of their life. There was a general consensus a number of years ago that everybody had to go to university and get a university education. It's very costly, and that's not always the best way to go. We are critically short of workers for jobs for which training is provided through community college education. It's essential that we start looking at that, and at our children and what they can do, and how they can benefit the most.
