One of our earlier witnesses felt that we should have our ASEP program, and then take the LMDA, the LMA, and the targeted initiative for older workers, and really collapse them a little bit into one piece. To some degree, that makes some sense.
I have one concern. I had someone from my riding yesterday who was looking at the student job program, as an example. By not having anything set aside as a bit of a carve-out for youth with disabilities going to university, they found it was a real challenge for their particular group to actually access....
So I appreciate the thinking around collapsing and making some sense, but would we not lose that targeted, important work that we do, again, whether for older workers or those with disabilities...?
Does anyone care to comment on that piece?
