So with this aging workforce and the urgency around that and the scale of projects ahead, especially across domestic supply chains, what role do apprenticeships and skills pathways play in making sure workers and firms are ready to build at scale?

I know for a fact that apprenticeship pathways are going to be hugely important to the manufacturing sector.

It's interesting because in the province of Ontario alone and many others, there's well over, uh, a hundred and forty skilled trades to choose from.

A lot of people think about construction, but there's more.

There's a lot of skilled trades when it comes to manufacturing.This is where I really see the value of promoting apprenticeship pathways at a younger age.

We need to still continue on ending the stigma around apprenticeships and the skilled trades in general.

I mean, there's as much merit in being a boilermaker or an electrician as there is in being a, a banker or a lawyer.

Last question I have for you is how can we modernize our training systems across colleges, across apprenticeship programs, across these industry partnerships so that we have a future-ready workforce that is going to meet the needs of these big infrastructure projects?
