Without having the metrics in front of me, I think it would be hard for me to say—other than to give my own opinion. First, as discussed in my introduction, I would say that Veterans Affairs has an impact in only a small way on a larger problem that affects the workforce of Canada. It's because there's no actual real skills framework across the country. There is one for university degrees, where there are frameworks that are captured across the country, but for college apprenticeships and everything else, as was already discussed by the other witness, they don't translate between provinces. It's a mishmash of provinces, universities and employers. In that case, in a larger system, it's part of a broken system.
That being said, I think VAC actually has an Agilec contract, where they get a company to help veterans find jobs. They help them write résumés and they help them move forward. From the feedback I've gotten from people who have used that service, it's been quite good. It's helped a lot of people.
It seems as though they're doing a good job in what they can change, but it's part of a larger broken system. I guess that's my feedback.
