MONTREAL — How many workers does it take to shift a wall in Quebec? Too many, says Isabelle Rinfret of construction and real estate management company Arvisais, based roughly 95 kilometres northeast of Montreal, in Louiseville, Que.

"We have needs that are growing in Quebec: housing, hospitals, roads, infrastructure, industrial projects," Boulet said in an interview. "We need to help our capacity to build to meet these needs, and that happens by meeting two challenges: first, a larger workforce and second, more productivity." Rinfret agrees more versatility between trades for qualified workers would be a boon for the industry. "I totally agree that decompartmentalizing certain trades would enable us to gain in productivity," she said in an email. "With additional training or experience, a single person who could, for example, do carpentry and plastering work could … be part of the solution to the labour shortage.

"Versatility should never be at the expense of expertise," union president Carl Dufour said in a statement this month. "What the government wants to do by reforming is to cut corners, because it can't deliver the seniors' homes, hospitals, schools and roads promised during the election." The former MI6 agent Christopher Steele had a friendship with Ivanka Trump that enraged her father when he found out, Steele said in court Tuesday.New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman told CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday that Trump insiders don't know what to make of the agreement.The former president faces potentially "devastating" consequences now that Powell is free to rat on him, Elie Honig said.
