A national strategy presents such a tremendous challenge that we are already starting to see local, regional and provincial stakeholders launch initiatives in this area. We're beginning to appreciate the importance of pan-Canadian coordination efforts in order to avoid duplication. There already has been some duplication and we have no time to lose on this score.
One very important component of the national strategy is identifying the role sector councils could play in the information sharing process. They could act as information centres for groups such as education networks, associations, colleges or universities.
Our programs benefit from effective, sound support. Naturally, sector councils would welcome even more help. There is no shortage of work. Our groups are small and they have rather lofty goals. We try, with our relatively modest resources, to have an impact on the labour market.
