If you look at the naval stressed trades in particular—this is worth noting for the committee—Commodore MacKeigan did some work to find out the real issue here. We found out that for many--not all--the real issue is grade 10 math.
If you take a look at the current construct—I see it with my own children—there's the option of taking everyday math, college math, or university math. What we need in many of the technical trades are people with university math skills. We've found that there is a cohort, a large group, who have passed everything else, but can't come in because they don't have grade 10 math.
What are we doing? On January 1, he's going to recruit 30. We're going to do a little pilot. Once they finish at CFRS, they're going to go to Borden, where we're going to teach them grade 10 math. It's almost like the fitness approach. We're going to bring people in, select them in, do grade 10 math, run our own little school, get that done, and enrol them.
I think a lot of the naval stressed trades, or some of them, will be addressed in that way. But that's another tangible piece of evidence of what Commodore MacKeigan is doing to address that issue--what's the problem and what's the key to dealing with it.
