“We are spending money to train people in skilled trades. Quebec will need 80,000 of these workers in the next five years. We will respect Quebec's authority as we work with them on this.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. First, it is important to know that we are investing in workforce training for skilled trades because there will be a need for it, especially in Quebec. The Commission de la construction du Québec is saying that there will be a need for 80,000 workers in the next five years. Obviously, we will respect Quebec’s jurisdictions. We have been doing so since 1997 with the agreement in principle on the workforce. I am very pleased to be able to work with my counterpart, Minister Boulet, to ensure that we can quickly deliver results for Quebeckers.”
