I have a couple of suggestions that I didn't actually talk about.
The federal government has offered the loan program as well as the completion grants, but the federal government also controls a lot of money in construction. If they had procurement language not just for the big infrastructure projects but for having, for the sake of an example, minimum apprenticeship levels.... Let's say it's at 10%, so that whoever bids on this job has to have a plan to hire 10% apprentices.
A lot of times in the voluntary trades, apprentices drop out because they don't get enough work hours. They might get only 1,500 work hours, not 2,000 hours. It's not so much that they didn't like the job; it's that they have bills to pay and the cost of living in Toronto is very high.
The federal government, the provincial government and the city control a lot of money when it comes to construction procurement. If there were this language in that criteria to win that job, that would create a pipeline of apprentices getting hired. Contractors would have to hire 10% apprentices. That pipeline would be fed and people would move up. They would get their hours and they wouldn't drop out. They would complete their apprenticeships and become journeypersons, and you would have a success.
