RESCON presses feds to allow more skilled trades into Canada
We presently have a housing crisis in Ontario. Unfortunately, we also have a labour crunch.
More than 100,000 skilled trades workers in the province are expected to retire over the next decade. This will leave a gaping hole in the construction industry unless we get more people into the trades. In the residential sector, we are already short of some voluntary trades with specialized skill sets.
Shortages are expected in several trades in residential construction as domestic training and hiring alone will not be enough to keep up with the increasing demand for housing and infrastructure.
