Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Minister. As the Minister mentioned, it looks different everywhere. Even within regions, it could look different from school to school. Certainly, we know that any hands-on initiatives with children and youth are really well-received, and kids learn very well that way. Some of the more recent advances we have had in introducing senior high students to the trades is, as the Minister mentioned, through the SNAP program. I am really pleased to let you know, we have about 20 students right now this school year who are involved in the SNAP program across different communities. Really, what it does is: it allows them to earn credits towards their high school diploma, as well as get invaluable experience doing real projects in the community as led by journeymen. Often, those students have the opportunity to get paid a certain amount of money after their school hours because they often will get hired for part-time jobs, as well.

We also are looking at, with our career and education advisors that are expanding to the regions, we know that we have to have more focus on the trades and getting youth interested in trades. One of our CEAs is a tradesperson and has been really behind the scenes of supporting those SNAP students. We are going to have one of our career and education advisors be a specialist in trades so that our students are identifying that that's something that they want to do. Regardless of where they live, they will be connected with him, and he will help facilitate connections as needed within that community and broader, with businesses at the local level, and so on. Thank you, Madam Chair.
