Thank you to the member opposite. We are fighting for all Ontario workers. Everyone in Ontario should have the skills they need to get a good job. It’s how we’re going to be competitive. This year, we’re investing $1.2 billion to help over one million people—programs that respond to the skills of individuals and the labour needs of employers. This includes $418 million to connect employers and job seekers, $191 million to support apprenticeship training and employers who host them, $187 million to train unemployed job seekers and retrain employed workers. I could go on and on. On October 7, Minister McNaughton and I announced an additional $75 million over two years to help apprentices cover their living expenses during in-class training, allow training providers to upgrade their facilities and purchase new state-of-the-art equipment and provide upgraded safety equipment to ensure in-person training. Our government is standing up for all Ontario employees and getting this workforce back as we move forward.
