There is one point I would like to add, briefly. I want to thank Veterans Affairs Canada for the funding it has granted us for offering construction site safety training. As you know, everyone who goes onto a construction site must have received training on occupational health and safety.
At present, all these courses are given in Ontario, a province we have been using as a testing ground for a year now. I can assure you that it is a success all around. We would now like to provide this training nation-wide. However, Employment and Social Development Canada would have to provide funding for that. We have applied for funding already, but we have not had an answer after waiting for a year. I hope we will get an answer. If we had this funding, we would be able to develop the same project Canada-wide.
I would also like us to be able to have access to service members who are going to be starting their transition to civilian life in the near future and who—I don't want to say they're "vegetating"—are waiting to leave the Canadian Armed Forces. If we could take them on and provide them with the training they need, they could start working in the trade they have chosen right away after being demobilized, rather than waiting a month or two before acquiring the necessary skills.
