Thank you very much to the departmental officials for being here today.
This question would probably be best answered by you, Mr. Thompson. As a committee, we are supposed to be studying the promotion of education and training. In my riding of Brampton Centre, I feel there are huge groups of youth who are not in university. They either leave education or they don't want to go to university.
Do we have the facilities to give those types of kids basic training for things like construction work? Billions of dollars are spent in the construction industry. Do we have programs for youth who leave school and want to do something in the construction industry? Do we have anything for those kids?
