You referred several times to challenges involving basic skills. I know that education falls under provincial jurisdiction, but the Skills Link program does a lot of work to further this basic training.
However, the trend recently is to no longer fund projects such as the Wapikoni Mobile or the Ateliers Bon Débarras. In fact, the Ateliers Bon Débarras project unfolded in my riding of Hochelaga. Skills Link has lost its subsidy, and this project really focused on basic skills. It helped people to figure out how to read a schedule, how to work with people. These programs don't lead directly to employment, but they could eventually lead young people toward other training programs.
Indeed, I knew a young woman who went through the Ateliers Bon Débarras program and who afterwards took part in another carpentry apprenticeship program. These things open other doors.
Unfortunately, the trend seems to be to eliminate basic programs like those. In fact, you were yourself talking about literacy earlier. Yet you seem to be going in another direction. I don't understand why.
