Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister please outline examples he is aware of where companies are already encouraging their workers to complete green skills training? How is the $100 million Apprenticeship Kickstart program, which the government announced recently, going to help produce the green skills of the future? Why is the government so committed to ensuring traditional trades apprentices have green skills? What kind of green skills will be needed for the low-pollution economy of the future?
