Thank you to the member for that question. That is such an important question and an important area where we want to make sure that children of all ages, all genders, all parts of this province learn about skilled trades, whichever type of shop class. As we start to build upon the shop classes that we’re already reopening, we will slowly get down to the other grades.

I’m really excited about the benefits of bringing employers in and showing them what they would actually do if they become a skilled tradesperson, a carpenter, an electrician, a welder. We actually went to visit a welding company with the Associate Minister of Housing to see how they could help us—going to schools, teaching them how to do welding, and then eventually show them that this is a great industry to work in. So let’s encourage more to do that.
