I want to thank the member for Markham–Unionville for this very important question.

Through you, Mr. Speaker, our government really understands Ontario is facing a historic labour shortage. In fact, today in the province there are nearly 400,000 jobs going unfilled. We need all hands on deck to build a stronger Ontario. That is why we’re connecting job seekers with the skills and training they need and promoting the lifelong careers that are available in the skilled trades. We’re also making it easier for out-of-province workers and immigrants to fill in-demand jobs, and we’re calling on skilled workers from right across Canada and abroad to come here to Ontario to collect these paycheques that are waiting to be collected.

Mr. Speaker, our government has an ambitious plan to build, and we’re going to get it done.
