I'll attempt to answer that, and then if I get something wrong, I'll let Angela Splinter from Trucking HR Canada jump in. This is one of their areas of main skill.
I believe it's the provinces. When you have a NOC code put together, the feds can do it, but the provinces also have to do it. What we've always seen is that if you have a program that affects people coast to coast, even if it's the provinces that eventually have to implement it, it's always better to get the federal government and all the provinces working together on a committee to put codes in place that will allow this to be done on a consistent basis, no matter where you are in the country. It's almost like you consider it a Red Seal trade, like you have for mechanics, and you do an apprenticeship-type model.
