Bob and Al, thanks, makes sense now. Obviously, I haven't really investigated the situation enough but there is more than enough hearsay going around about the new requirement. A lot of grumbling too. [Linked Image]

I also keep hearing (from certified instructors) that they are going to lengthen the term of apprenticeship to 5 years from its current 4 years. If it's true and they do, we can expect even less people entering the trade. [Linked Image]
