Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to start by welcoming our witnesses to the committee. Thank you for being here to help us with our study.
My first question is for Mr. McGovern.
I looked at all of the programs offered by the Department of Employment and Social Development. There are a lot. You have the apprenticeship incentive grant, the apprenticeship completion grant, the interest-free loan program for apprentices, flexibility and innovation in apprenticeship technical training, which is a pilot project, loans and grants, the youth employment strategy, skills link and Canada summer jobs, just to name a few.
This is what I'm wondering. Is there not some degree of redundancy in those programs, and above all, is there not some confusion among youth and employers, who have to make sense of them all?
