Colleges already work a lot with aboriginal communities, especially to offer them programs in the trades. As my colleague Ken Doyle mentioned, once apprentices go to college, they are considered students. They therefore have access to all of the institution's services. In the case of aboriginal people, colleges provide very inclusive services, for example services for elders and places to meet. Apprentices who go to college are welcomed.
Some colleges and institutes now have mobile trades training trailers. These big trucks go to aboriginal communities, where people can take trades training on site. Aboriginal communities told colleges that it was very important for them to receive training in their community, so that their young people didn't always have to travel.
I haven't talked about it, but in the report we submitted to the committee, I included the example of Sault College, in northern Ontario. It established the Aboriginal Apprenticeship Centre to help aboriginal youth and adults who want to be apprentices and work in a trade. The example is described in our report. It could be helpful.
