—nationally, is under the name of the Canadian Operating Engineers Joint Apprenticeship and Training Council. This is where we need the funding, to get the same criteria for testing on the east coast as on the west coast; we're all one unified body.
Unfortunately, the AIT agreement put the cart ahead of the horse. The AIT agreement says if you're qualified in any province, you can land in any province and do the work. We have issues with that in Ontario because we have compulsory certification for tower crane and mobile crane operators. When we made that compulsory, crane-related fatalities decreased 50%. That's huge. That's deaths. That's what compulsory certification did for Ontario. So we do have a problem with someone from another province coming into Ontario with a low training standard and no compulsory certification.
I agree, more has to be done as a national body to get everybody on the same page with the same high standards, not a low standard.
