Perhaps I could begin and then Mr. Vermaeten could add some detail on the skills and partnership fund.
There are three principal programs in the department targeted at improving the employability and skills of aboriginal Canadians. The first is the assets program, which is what I would call the base programming for aboriginal communities across the country. We have agreements with third-party providers who work with the communities, training institutions, employers. Frequently, the objective is to improve the skill levels. It's not always directly tied to employment prospects. There's tremendous diversity across the communities in receipt of these funds—some are very remote communities, some are semi-urban or closer to urban centres.
The second program I'd refer to is the first nations job fund, which is oriented specifically to younger aboriginal people on reserve who are in receipt of income assistance. The objective is to take people from communities on reserve that decide to participate, typically because economic opportunity will have been identified. We anticipate a very positive engagement between employers, the two departments engaged in this, and the training institutions to improve skills.
The third one is the skills and partnership fund, which is deliberately oriented towards private sector training institutions. The training is project-driven. There are clear economic opportunities, and we have engaged in some specific calls for proposals from industry.
Frank, you might want to add a word or two on those calls for proposals and the results we've had.
