I think that's part of the fundamental question we were looking at when we decided to undertake this audit.
Again, as you said, among the indigenous population there are higher unemployment rates and lower participation in the workforce. There are all of those indications that indigenous people need help getting into the workforce. That's something, as I think the department has rightly said today, that they need to work on, and not on their own but with the indigenous groups and communities as well.
Fundamentally, if there is a program that is intended to help indigenous people get sustainable and meaningful employment—and, at this time, the program was spending about $300 million a year, and I think we heard today that there will be another $100 million a year, taking it up to $400 million a year—we would hope that we would finally see a change in some of the outcomes.
I think the deputy minister did mention some very specific performance measurements that they are going to track now. I think one was reducing the skills gap by a certain percentage, by some very specific measurement.
I think these are the types of measurements that would give us all a better sense of whether this money is achieving what it was intended to achieve, which is sustainable and meaningful employment for these populations. That's what we're looking for.
I can't answer the question about whether there is another approach. What I can say is that we need to have some way of knowing whether the current approach is working or not.
