Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you very much for being here. Mr. St. John, it sounds as though you and your people are doing some excellent work in encouraging young people to consider the construction trades.
Prior to getting elected, I was the president of the Greater Toronto Apartment Association for 12 years, so I worked very much in the industry. I know you folks well I and appreciate what I think have been some very good partnerships between employers and unions in a number of these programs.
We actually ran a very successful apprenticeship program to train building superintendents. This was a program we started in partnership with the City of Toronto and the Toronto social services department for people who were receiving Ontario Works benefits. It was to retrain them to become building superintendents in our buildings. It was very successful. It was a true partnership, so I'm glad to hear that's your aim as well.
Mr. Grimshaw, you mentioned that your program has a 90% retention success and placement rate, versus 50% or less in other areas. Do you want to tell me again a couple of the specific reasons your program has such a high success rate versus others?
