Certainly training is a large part of any kind of medium-term, long-term solution. I think one of the problems is that in certain conditions people who are on social assistance are essentially prevented from participating in training programs. In Ontario, which is the province I know the most about, the philosophy for people on welfare is the shortest route to a job--that's the phrase--the shortest route to a job, and any job is a good job. So this leads to the cycling on and off, because people go on jobs and can't keep them and they're essentially prevented from entering training programs.
