Let me answer it first.

We need more apprentices in this country. That's why, in this budget, we made a $75-million contribution and investment in the union training and innovation program. If we want long-term stability, we need more apprentices moving into high-demand jobs. We will continue to make investments in apprenticeships. We already invest over $1 billion through loans, grants and EI contributions.
