The Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCAC) has issued a statement following Canadian political party commitments to grow the skilled trades.
Mechanical contractors across Canada are glad to see all federal parties stepping up to show their support for workers in the skilled trades.
The association calls on all the parties to commit to working with associations in the construction sector to ensure investments are going to the trades that are most in-demand in Canada’s labour force.
Building a new Canadian economy will require strategic investments in the ten Red Seal trades employed by our sector, as well as capacity-building for those sectors that are critical to our country’s economic growth and productivity.
