In their own words

  • need for the federal government to implement programs that would offset the additional costs incurred for the purchase of women-specific PPE. Much like the federal tradesperson's tools expenses deduction, a similar program specifically aimed at women in the skilled trades would help improve occupational health and safety, while at the same time removing a barrier to entry for those seeking careers in the trades.
  • Unlocking Immediate Productivity Gains 1. Introduce a targeted, time-limited exemption on overtime earnings for certified skilled tradespeople in construction-critical sectors. 2. Introduce time-limited accelerated depreciation regime for businesses in construction-critical sectors investing in productivity-enhancing equipment and technologies; temporarily suspend the accompanying half-year rule.
  • Advancing policies and programs that support mechanical contractors and mechanical trades for sector-wide benefit. This includes improving recruitment of contractors in high-demand sectors and government-sectoral coordination to better forecast labour force needs.
