Human Resources committee  Yes. As of 2016, they were in Edmonton and Calgary. However, now that we have the outreach, we go out to first nations communities and Métis settlements and bring the program out to them. As well, as part of the program, they build tiny homes as their hands-on project.

Human Resources committee  Can you clarify?

Human Resources committee  Yes, the attendance of course is better because we're right in their community, so then they have their own community members or the departments that we partner up with, so I'm thinking they're a little bit more comfortable closer to home. There are also probably fewer barriers a

Human Resources committee  Yes, it is. Transportation was already an issue as well, but now it's just compounded in regard to the tax.

Human Resources committee  Probably I would say more funding—double or triple what we receive currently. We can train 260 indigenous clients per year. We need to do more.

Human Resources committee  It would be our partnerships with the indigenous assets holders as well as the union training centres. As well, of course, recently we've gone out to the first nations communities as well as the Métis settlements here in Alberta. And, of course, it's also the employers.

Human Resources committee  Currently, it's carpenters, electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, welders, insulators, ironworkers, and, of course, construction craft labourers.

Human Resources committee  No, right now we have about 25% female graduates.

Human Resources committee  Thank you.

Human Resources committee  Thank you. I'd like to thank Bob Blakely and the Canada's Building Trades Unions for the opportunity to be able to speak to the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities.
