Plumber Compulsory Designation

In 2014, industry initiated a request to the Minister to designate the trade of Plumber for compulsory certification. A compulsory trade requires all workers in the trade to be either certified journeypersons, registered apprentices, or temporary permit holders. In response to the request, the Minister contracted a third-party consultant to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of compulsory certification in the trade of Plumber. The study entailed consultation with more than 1,100 employers, employees, apprentices and other stakeholders from across Manitoba.

Following a review of the impact study, the Minister of Education and Training has determined that there is limited empirical evidence to support the compulsory certification of the trade of Plumber. Therefore, the Minister has determined that the trade of Plumber will continue to be a voluntary trade in Manitoba.

The Minister would like to thank everyone who participated in this important discussion.
