We talked about non-union contractors, and one of the problems we've come up against with a non-union contractor in my riding, a construction contractor, is that they do not use apprentices, so there's no local apprentice hiring. That's quite acceptable, but this government has signalled that they will look favourably upon apprenticeship creation through its tendering processes for infrastructure projects. So that would be a legislated discrimination against these non-union contractors, would it not?
