I don't think that what I said and what you're saying are in opposition. I think the current skilled labour force needs to be a huge part of this, and we have to provide that training. There is a reality, though, that there is a mass number of retirements happening out of the skilled trades right now, and we are not training new skilled workers fast enough to replace the people who are leaving. If we don't convince a new generation to go into the skilled trades, the data says there will be a huge problem at the end of that road. That scarcity is going to continue to drive up the costs of housing for Canadians.
