Mr. Speaker, first I would like to congratulate the member on her election and on her first question to me.
We are committed to ensuring that Canadians have the skills necessary for the labour market of the future. We believe we can get better bang for the taxpayer's buck and the training dollars that are spent by ensuring there is a guaranteed job at the end of the training. We do not believe in training for the sake of training.
We also want to ensure that employers put more money into training. That is why we proposed the Canada job grant, to leverage a larger private sector investment in skills development and have a guaranteed job at the end of it. It makes a lot of sense, and we are making progress in discussions with the provinces.
