Mr. Speaker, I did not get to that in my speech, but I am glad I get to answer it here. As we are investing $51 billion to build Canada strong and $13 billion in the affordable homes plan, or Build Canada Homes, we need to make sure that we have the next generation of workers in the skilled trades available to work on those projects.
I spent 20 years working in heavy civil construction, working with workers in the skilled trades directly. I know the amazing benefits those jobs have to communities, as well as the high pay and the pride workers take in the job they do when they are working in the skilled trades. Our government is investing in the next generation to make sure they have the jobs to provide for their families.
