Following that, I'll sit on the fence as well, with apologies.
There is a need, and I mentioned it in my opening statement, to have a national approach for training. That's a base approach, so that you have some basic skills which are repeatable and transferable right across the country. But we also have to recognize that flexibility. Based on the industry that the person is working in, and it sometimes varies by province, there should be the ability for provinces to upgrade specific skills related to what they need. I think it's a combination of both, but we can avoid and prevent some of the mobility issues if we have a core bit of training.
We hear stories of students who go from one province to another, and their first year of training is not recognized in the other province, but it is the same trade. That's a problem. The student is confused; the industry is confused.
We met last month with educators from right across the country in the welding trade, and that was the strongest message we heard. They don't want to protect their own interests in their own provinces; they want to have a national approach. Then they can customize it based on their feedback from local industry, but they want a national approach.
If you made me choose, I would lean towards more control at a national level, but we have to recognize that flexibility is critical with our varied economy across the country.
