Deputy Minister, Labour, Department of Employment and Social Development

I may have to do some follow-up regarding this specific question, to see which statistics have increased by 50%.

As for the increased budget for the employment program, the 2019 budget announced the allocation of one million dollars a year for a mediation and conciliation service, that is to say for the team that handles collective agreement negotiations, not the team that deals with the implementation of health and safety regulations and standards.

Those are different measures. So the funds are not associated with the increase you mentioned as such.

See context to find out what was said next.
