The criteria are very clear and direct. With the previous LMA funding, you were only eligible for the program if you were non-EI eligible or if you were improving your employability. It could be language training. It could be training associated with specific skills.
The LMDAs are only open to folks who are EI eligible. My understanding is clear—and I stand to be corrected—that the LMDA dollars are associated with EI funds. That's an inherent characteristic and it's a challenge if you're only being funded through one bucket of money, if you will.
I'm not sure, because of where the source of those funds originate, if I have a suggestion other than a real simple one of blending or opening it all up. I'm not sure that the legislation allows that.
