"The apprenticeship system in Ontario has worked for many
years. This bill will deregulate and de-skill the
apprenticeship system that is so critical to the success of
key industries such as auto assembly, aerospace, auto parts,
electronics and rail."
The Harris government is now slicing into the very
foundation of Ontario's highly productive, award-winning
manufacturing sector.
Ontario's automobile, auto parts and aerospace plants
have consistently won international acclaim for their high
quality and productive output. Ontario skilled trades
workers are major contributors to our manufacturing
success.
It is passing a law, Bill 55, that will take the skill
and the quality out of our workforce.
Harris is reducing the future standards for skilled
trades education and training.
It will take away our competitive edge.
Instead, let's protect and strengthen apprenticeship
training in Ontario. Hearings are underway in Ontario. Let
your MPP know that Bill 55 will not work for the youth of
Ontario or your community.
