Human Resources committee  There is some information along the wall there, and if you want it, it's also on the desk. If you need any other kind of information, let me know.

Human Resources committee  I think another thing is a small program in the last budget and in previous budgets around internship programs and the ways in which we can promote employment for recent graduates, especially the kind of employment they can get in small and medium-sized companies so they can brin

Human Resources committee  It's a little bit different with regard to the kinds of occupations and the kinds of skills of university graduates. I mean, look at the job changes that have taken place in our economy. In the economic downturn, there were about 450,000 jobs lost for those who do not have any po

Human Resources committee  Especially in relation to aboriginal Canadians, there are all kinds of pilot programs that universities themselves are funding to try to attract and retain and support students through to graduation. They're doing that, as my colleague mentioned before, on their own dime, if you

Human Resources committee  As programs like new shipbuilding come up, and as we work with the aerospace industry or others, there's a constant dialogue. We brought people in from Pratt & Whitney to speak with MPs back in January. Pratt & Whitney has relationships with 30 or more institutions right

Human Resources committee  We do publish it. We do put out all these kinds of studies. A lot of data is available. The kinds of information we have in the documents that are on the disks are shared with the public. They're online, so we do make this as available as possible to the public.

Human Resources committee  No, it wasn't my complaint at this stage. What I'm saying is we try to put it in accessible forms. A document that is 80 or 100 pages long, which you need for an analytical study of these things, is not accessible to the normal high school student. Part of the reason we put out

Human Resources committee  One of the things we've done in this publication, or in the series of slides that are available to you, is do the same kinds of slides by province. So you can see that while there are employment increases for tradespeople in Alberta, and a little more in Alberta than in most othe

Human Resources committee  To start, part of this is really through the kinds of co-op and internship programs we have. As I mentioned at the outset, most of our programs have community and labour market advisers and private sector international advisers on the curriculum. So we're already connected, wheth

Human Resources committee  It's really from them. It's just a matter of displaying what it is they're showing, what it is that the census of Canada shows on those fronts.

Human Resources committee  Sure. In fact, we have been putting that kind of data out on enrolments, and in very detailed ways out into the public, and in many ways for many years. And we certainly share with universities so that they can assess where there's a need or a niche that's not being filled. So th

Human Resources committee  Yes. Again, “Open Doors, Open Knowledg” was something that universities pulled together in the fall to thank government for the knowledge infrastructure program and the tremendous resources they provided to universities and colleges across Canada to build increased capacity in r

Human Resources committee  Just very quickly, I'll note that the directory of Canadian universities does point handicapped students to the kinds of programs that exist at Canadian universities. There is a web-based source at AUCC that will help to at least point students to potential programs and potential

Human Resources committee  Many programs exist in provinces to do that. Ontario has fairly strong support, or had fairly strong support, for programs to help to provide additional support where additional support was needed. There are institutions themselves putting in all kinds of programs to help and enc

Human Resources committee  As I said, there are some programs in Ontario. I cannot point you to the particular one you're after, but we can do that afterwards if you want.
