I'd like to start by giving a little example. My son is 14. I can't bring him out to the work site until he's 16 because of Ministry of Labour rules. That's too late. I was nine. I'm not saying that was right or wrong, but I still have all of my body parts here. At 14 he can work at McDonald's and get third-degree burns from the fryers; my construction site's not any more unsafe.
We're losing the kids at that younger age. They're not getting exposed to it enough early on. Once they get into that routine, be it in retail, customer service, or whatever it is, it's hard to pull them back into something that they don't understand. That's one point.
The second point is that we don't have the right people in the education system. We hire great teachers—don't get me wrong—but there was a comment about counsellors coming from university. You need to get some of these journeypersons in. When I was in grades 6 and 7 and 8, Mr. Robertson was my tech teacher. He was a tradesperson who was converted to being a teacher. He lived and breathed it. The blood in his veins was sawdust. That's what you need. You need to get back to the grassroots.
I hope that answers your question.
