New Democrat MLA Gary Burrill asked Ava Czapalay, the deputy minister of labour, skills and immigration, if the province had considered giving veterans who want new careers in a skilled trade the same tax break.
"Does it seem like an idea that has some things to commend it?" asked Burrill.
"Any and all suggestions are welcome, in terms of [providing incentives to] people to participate in the skilled trades," said Czapalay.
"I'll take this back and we'll get a response for you," he added, referring to the Department of Finance.
