In the unionized construction industry, we have 200 training centres across the country. We partner with our contractors to deliver that training. We've been able to access the union training and innovation program. We've spent our own money. Training is critically important to a successful construction industry and Canada's economy, so we encourage governments across the country to spend and invest in training tradespeople.
In terms of your comment about the trade recognition in Quebec, we're starting to see some real improvement there. For example, we have at least 100 tradespeople from Newfoundland working in the Davie shipyard right now, which was easily accomplished compared with how it was a number of years ago in terms of getting tradespeople into Quebec.
I would re-emphasize this notion of safety harmonization. I think that's an area where Quebec and all the other provinces could get together to look at safety harmonization and improve the safety of construction workers, particularly in Quebec, which has one of the worst construction safety records in all of Canada.
With the good work that's happening in trade investment, training, and investing in trades, and with how the system works in Quebec, I agree with you that there are a lot of positives to that system, but safety harmonization is an area where I can see some room for improvement for workers in Quebec.
