Thank you very much. I appreciate your comments.
Mr. Ritter, I acknowledge what you're saying about the transfer of information from journeypersons to apprentices, but I think we've heard from a number of witnesses over and over again in this committee that the challenges around collecting EI are more than just an urban myth for many apprentices.
I wonder if I could ask you a different question, and this is particularly on the placement side. We've had some infrastructure investments. We could have a long debate about whether or not those investments have been enough, but nonetheless, we've had some investments in terms of infrastructure renewal.
I wonder if you've given any thought to whether there perhaps should be some contract compliance provisions in the infrastructure investments, whereby you would be told that in order for you to be the successful bidder, yes, of course the cost of doing the job matters, but perhaps one of the components to be considered could be hiring young people, creating opportunities for youth employment, thereby promoting skills for some of the infrastructure investments.
That's for either of you.
