Last week, we heard from operators and representatives from the international union of engineers. The question had to do with apprentices. Perhaps the government did not see this coming, but there are apprentices who are working and who are sent to community college to complete their apprenticeship module. Then they go back to work. But they receive employment insurance benefits. They were not laid off because of a shortage of work. It is a special apprenticeship program.
Should we move an amendment, and is it valid? What does the government intend to do? Can these people be considered special cases, similar to those who are on sick leave, maternity leave or parental leave? What does the government intend to do?
