A new plan to help more Canadians get into the skilled trades is getting attention from all sides of the political world. Liberal leader Mark Carney says he wants to make it easier for people to become bricklayers, welders, crane operators, and more, jobs that are essential to building homes, roads, and other key parts of the country.

Carney’s plan includes giving apprentices up to $8,000 to help pay for training. It also puts more money into trade schools, union-led programs, and helps employers by giving them up to $10,000 when they hire new apprentices.

Even though the plan comes from the Liberals, many of the ideas are things Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has also talked about. He’s pushed for more focus on skilled trades and wants to cut red tape so people can get to work faster. Both leaders say Canada needs to build more, hire more, and make life more affordable—and skilled trades are a big part of that.

The plan also includes tax breaks for workers who have to travel far for jobs and promises to make it easier to work across different provinces. These are things workers and employers have been asking for, no matter their politics.

At a time when the economy is uncertain and prices are high, both Carney and Poilievre seem to agree: helping more Canadians learn a trade is good for everyone.
