I was reading some information around some different ideas being contemplated, some reforms to the national job bank and different.... I can't recall just what it's called, but I think being able to help communicate across the country what's needed, and again, that mobility piece and supporting people with labour market mobility. The ability to move for jobs is really important, and that linkage is critical.
Some of the work that we're doing from an industry standpoint is that we've developed a very comprehensive socio-economic management plan requirement. All of our contractors will be required to develop a comprehensive plan that would be part of the supply-chain process, in which they'll be evaluated around local inclusion, aboriginal inclusion. We are definitely going to be working closely with our contractors and service providers. But I think being able to help articulate the needs across the country effectively ensures that training is aligned with developing those skills. Really providing some of the gap funding for individuals that could most benefit from training and linkages to employment is critical.
We see a lot of opportunity for young people to get the essential and then technical skills they need, and start a career. Especially in B.C.'s north-northwest there's an unprecedented opportunity for a young person to start a career and stay in their region. Really, to be a journeyperson and not have to journey very far for the first few years is really important. I think it's a great opportunity and it's a great way to get local and aboriginal people connected to the marketplace.
