Thank you for the question.
There are a number of programs available to help the trade and apprenticeship system in Canada, including direct programming that works with unions, which was recently doubled in the latest budget. Previously, the union training and innovation program helped nearly 30,000 individuals receive training and upskilling in 2023-24. That funding has now been doubled. We will be working to quickly implement that new program.
There are other supports that we work on with the provinces. The labour market development agreements program, for example, will help hundreds of thousands of individuals move from displaced occupations into new occupations. The latest funding we implemented as part of the tariff response plan is $570 million over three years to help workers displaced and impacted by tariffs. A major priority through that funding will be to support the skilled trades.
Those are just a few examples of the programs that help in this space.
