One thing I would like to see is a Red Seal program within the Government of Canada. If you're a stoker, a carpenter, a plumber or an electrician on board a ship or plane—or whatever it is that you do—those qualifications should equate to the Red Seal program, right across the country. No matter where you live within the military or whatever skills you have, if they're up to the Red Seal standard, you should be able to get a job anywhere in the country in that regard.
We could trim a lot of red tape by ensuring that any skilled trade within the Government of Canada—be it Public Services, Transport Canada, DND, the RCMP or wherever—equates to a Red Seal program in civilian life. If you did that, I believe you could streamline the process a lot more easily.
Thank you.
