Indeed, we support that the performance measurement and accountability are crucial measures that need to be undertaken both with respect to the jobs grants and as well the LMDAs. And in fact our submission highlights that the LMDAs do not contain the kinds of reporting and accountability provisions that the LMAs themselves require. The LMA evaluation provides a useful reference for identifying those kinds of KPIs and benchmarks, including the kinds of credentials that are received as a result of funding, changes for example in average weekly earnings, types of positions filled by sector, number of hours worked, and employment and training success rates. That's all broken down at regional, provincial, and national levels, and that kind of data and tracking is extremely important.
