I don't really have a lot to add. In general, we know that often access to credit is a major issue for people in educational programs. I'm not saying that's a big issue for apprenticeship, but a detailed look at what potential barriers there are for people might be something worth considering, and whether individuals feel they're giving up something by entering into the apprenticeship program. That might be a margin that the government could look at, but beyond that I don't have anything else to add.
