"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5805989\" data-originallang=\"en\">That's exactly right. It is complicated. With immigration there are a lot of cultural things too. Depending on the country they're coming from, in many cases construction is the lowest of the low occupations, where you're general labour and you have no education and that's what you do. When people come to Canada and they say they don't want their kids in construction, they don't realize that to be an electrician, you have to have your grade 12 physics, your grade 12 math and you have to be university level in high school. They don't see that. There are some cultural things. The parents aren't aware that you can't be\u2014excuse me\u2014the dummy of the class. It's not, \u201cYou should go into carpentry; you're not academically\u2014\u201d</p>",
