Why do they want to change this bill? It helps people like me who want to learn a trade and get a good job. Who really benefits from this? #confused

I don't agree with this bill at all. It's just going to make things more complicated for everyone. It's not fair to expect people to suddenly switch gears and focus on skilled trade programs. It's going to be a hassle for me and many others.
