I certainly think it's a step forward.
One point I make is that there's a lot of evidence that shows that training is beneficial to individual businesses. What has been striking to me in my research is why more employers don't train. I think there are a lot of reasons, as I mentioned, a lot of legitimate reasons. Sometimes it's cost, sometimes it's convenience, sometimes it's knowing the training.
The Canada jobs grant is only addressing one aspect of the issue. There are technical barriers like cost, but there are also institutional barriers. For example, it would be good to target something like the Canada jobs grant to specific industries where we want to make a difference.
It's not large enough to have a broad effect on the labour force, so targeting. Encouraging more linkages with educational institutions, so that we're changing the business culture, we're developing partnerships around training, so it's not just the one individual employee who's getting trained, but we're trying to actually make a systemic change.
