Mr. Speaker, as the Minister of Human Resources Development pointed out on many occasions in the House, the objective of the reform process upon which he has embarked is to transform the Canadian system into one that prepares Canadians for the changing requirements of the job market.
Rather than acting just as a net to catch people when they need special assistance, it is transformed into a system to help them reintegrate into the workforce and be fully prepared for the job opportunities that must exist in the future.
