Thank you so much for telling the story of your dad. That's the story of so many tradespeople. They were self-taught and certified at a time when it was completely different. I don't know if your dad is retired or not, but those are the journeypeople who are now training the next generation.
I would say that your dad travelled a lot, and to tag into Ms. Falk's comments, there are challenges that men in particular face when they're far away from home. I want to acknowledge how hard that was on your family.
My son also travels for work. There is a deep concern in the trades about mental health supports for men in particular—women too, but it's often men—who are far away from home, feeling lonely and feeling bored, in some cases. They're in a work camp far away. That has come up, and we are working to give full support to people who are far away.
