I couldn't agree more.
I think that promoting the technical and apprenticeship trades is critical. In fact, I have a team this week in northern B.C that's working with partners, the Industry Training Authority, union organizations, labour organizations, and colleges, on something called pathways to apprenticeship.
We're simply creating the space for dialogue. We're hosting these events. They're low budget, low glamour, no glitz. They are opportunities for dialogue around apprenticeships. We need to get people in Canadian cities, communities, small towns, rural and remote areas, seeing themselves in the picture of trades and technology. I think there are really simple and inexpensive ways to do that.
