I think we have the critical mass by all means, but I don't think that it's happening. That being said, take a mechanic, for example. To be a mechanic today takes a higher level of skill in computer knowledge and technological knowledge than maybe 30 years ago.
So, yes, I think the community colleges are doing a wonderful job, but some people just don't have that option available to them for any or some unforeseen reason. I do know that the Province of New Brunswick has started a program they call NBTAP, which is the New Brunswick Teen Apprenticeship Program. It's focused in Saint John at this point. They hope to expand it.
The programs are in place to a certain extent, but again they do not go far enough. There's so much more that needs to be done, especially for people in the north. We have people who leave the north for their education and they don't go back. The reason they don't go back goes back again to the industrial strategy. There's nothing there for them anymore and that's where the real problem lies.
The running joke that we hear a lot in Canada is sometimes the government forgets that there are things east of Montreal. Sometimes in the province of New Brunswick the government forgets there's anything north of Fredericton. So it's going to take a change, it really is.
