*Comments:	Unfair apprenticeship rules in Ontario stop thousands of young people from getting a start in the skilled trades and harm numerous small businesses across the province. In a requirement almost unique to Ontario, contractors must have three certified electricians on the job for every apprentice. By comparison, almost every other province requires just one certified journey person per apprentice. It's time for the provincial government to support Ontario Youth. It's time for new rules that allow one apprentice for each certified electrician.
