In my riding of Essex, I hear all the time from automotive suppliers and second-tier and third-tier suppliers that they need skilled labour. They need people with the skills that are necessary to produce the products that are in demand, and skilled people are scarce.
In the fall economic statement, we see that the Minister of Labour has successfully included $45 million for more skilled trades in the province—bringing the total amount to $140 million of that fund. This is welcome news for the riding of Essex. My question to the member is this: Does she support those measures, and will she vote for them?
