Of course it's a problem whenever a Canadian doesn't have the essential skills to go into the workforce. This is why we invest enormously in essential skills through the billions of dollars the federal government spends on skills development programs. In 2006 we created the labour market agreement, now the Canada job fund, which focuses in part on essential skills for under-represented groups in the labour force.
I think this would be most relevant to our aboriginal skills development programming, the ASETS and SPF programs. ASETS in particular focuses on essential skills for unemployed aboriginal Canadians.
So we do have a lot of programming to address that challenge.
