Mr. William Beausang:

I am scanning the list of apprenticeships that are in place. I am not clear which one relates directly to that requirement. The Minister recently announced the establishment of an electric vehicle centre of expertise, which is a training centre to be located in Mullingar. We are conscious of the issue, given the goals in the climate action plan to increase the number of electric vehicles.
