It's 7,200 hours in Manitoba, so you have varying degrees of requirements for different trades, even through the apprenticeship. Even through the recognition of the licence there are variations from province to province.
The other big barrier, which I mentioned in my opening remarks, is around safety harmonization. You can get a working at heights certificate in Ontario, for example, but if you go to work in Alberta, it's not recognized. You have to sit in a classroom and take what is essentially that same course all over again because they're recognizing that the authoritative body in that province is different from the one in the province you came from.
There are many barriers with respect to safety harmonization where there has been work under way. That work needs to have a tighter timeline in some of these areas where they can achieve safety harmonization. Of course, it's all in provincial jurisdiction. The federal government can facilitate the provinces to move in the right direction.
The time is right. If ever there was a better time for us to get some of these things right, I can't think of one.
