I think that speaks to our last recommendation, which is to ensure that they're publicly accounted for. Right now we don't have a very good method of tracing where the $2 billion goes. We know that it goes to the provinces, and we know it goes to programs. But it's measuring the impacts of those training programs....
For small business owners who pay over half of the EI premium, it's important to them that they're able to say that they see where that money is going. It is a tax for them. It is an insurance program for the employee, but for the employer it's a tax. It's revenue neutral. They have to pay it, whether they make any money or not that year, and it's mandatory. For us that makes it a payroll tax. It is money that they don't necessarily link to the individuals walking through their doors every day looking for work.
I think it's important that we maintain some of the training programs that are successful, but that we innovate a bit and we look at some of the other programming that's available and ask whether it's serving the purposes it's supposed to serve. Is it connected to the labour market? Is it connected to what the needs are of employers across the country, and especially small business owners?
