That goes back to privatization and the regulatory body requirement. A lot of our staff have very low experience. They are fresh out of social work programs. These are the people working with kids with complex, multiple diagnoses a lot of the time. We need better training for the staff, or at least standardized training to help orient these kids toward them. We could also take privatization out so we don't have people who are solely running these homes for a profit incentive rather than for the outcomes of youth.
I know that I'm kind of just dancing on the topic of youth employment, but a lot of these issues stem from numerous other systemic issues that have led to care being the last place where a kid should grow up. There are constantly negative outcomes. I think we need to able to increase their well-being and their outcomes while they're in care and before they even focus on getting into employment.
Another one of the major issues with it is, I believe, section 23. It will be classes in elementary school for youth with behavioural issues. A lot of kids from care go in there, and they're doing school work, but they won't get a high school diploma out of it.
