On your point about how we get apprentices to be able to move around, the problem we have now is that every province has a different training standard. The only thing that could be done at the federal level is to have the federal government mandate that all of the provincial training has to be done at a certain level, so basically enact the Red Seal program as a federal mandate. Everybody would have to train to the Red Seal level. Then you would have portability of apprentices as well as journeymen, coast to coast.
As you know, construction is cyclical, so it will be busy in Alberta for the next couple of years, and then Saskatchewan will pick up, and then B.C. will go, and then the east coast will go. If you have a province that is loaded up with a ton of apprentices and journeymen who can't go anywhere, how does that solve your problem? We're back again to a shortage at one end of the country and an overabundance at the other end of the country, and nothing to be able to solve it in between.
