Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her question of substance.
We all recognize the importance of more Canadians engaging in the skilled trades in Canada. As a government, we have been a strong advocate of encouraging involvement in the trades. In fact, we have introduced a series of tax measures, including the tradesperson's tools deduction and the apprenticeship job creation tax credit.
We will consider all such constructive proposals, like the one the hon. member brings forth, as part of the budget development process.
