Thank you.

My next question is for Ms. Bertrand.

Initiatives like the labour market agreements for persons with disabilities and the targeted initiative for workers aged 55 to 64 are aimed at improving the employment situation of specific subpopulations in society through services such as skills development and training, career counselling and work experience.

Are there any other innovative ways to improve the employment situation of vulnerable groups? How would these initiatives fit within a national poverty reduction strategy?
