Human Resources committee  It applies to a number of different sizes, from Joe the plumber, with a single apprentice, to a large company, where we have very targeted training that could involve private trainers that we would bring in, who are registered in our province to deliver training. Again, we negotiate this based on how much the company will pay for it and how much of it we will support.

Human Resources committee  I have one. One of the issues that we have faced in British Columbia is mobilizing British Columbians to where the jobs are. In very general terms, the major activities are in the northwest, northeast, and there are pockets of unemployed in the southeast for instance. When we start looking at people in the southeast, they are putting their hands up and saying, “I'm interested in one of those jobs”, and this is especially relevant for young people graduating out of trade schools.

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Manley. Thank you for the opportunity for appearing. I'd like to give you a bit of an overview. I'm much better at answering questions than delivering speeches. As Manley mentioned, what we have is the demand side support model versus a supply side service model. There's a significant distinction to be made there.
