That's a huge question and I know a very topical one, because our colleagues at HRSDC currently are thinking this through in many ways.
Where I am best suited to answer is to tell you that as part of the stimulus spending through the LMA, things were done to encourage, for example, pre-apprenticeship programs getting into secondary school, promoting the awareness of the trades.
The problem with all of this is that it's chaotically delivered. There isn't a national standard. There isn't a national outcome. It's that whole decentralized nature of the spend, and the shared jurisdiction issue, which came up in my discussion with Mr. Brison.
I would say that as we look at renewals for the labour market agreements, one of the things is to come to some common data sets as to what is the problem and what is the goal that we all want. For example, there is a lot of concern right now around the issue of, well, we have to get more young people interested in the trades. That is valid, but it's equally important to get the people in the third and fourth year, before they get their ticket, to complete.
There could be targeted uses of the LMAs if we could agree on the problem.
