Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
Chief Leon, you mentioned more funding. It's the first time we've heard actually a request for more funding. In our discussions we've heard more about a better delivery model and a better connection with the employer and the educational institutions, and that participation.
First of all, how can we improve the model so that there are better outcomes, and a better connect, for the person who needs the training and also the employer? Is there a good interaction with the employers who are out there looking for these potential employees?
In terms of the other participants in this, do you think there's any responsibility on the student to put some skin in the game, to actually put some money into it? I know that with my children I found that the outcomes of their education were great when they earned money to put into their own education. I think there needs to be some input from those who are participating in the program.
Could you comment on that in terms of the participants?
