Human Resources committee  Especially in light of the LMAs—labour market agreements—and the LMDAs that are also funded by ESDC for employment and training, there should have been recognition of the relationship of first nations with the federal government prior to the LMAs and LMDAs being implemented. The LMDAs and LMAs have targets for aboriginal people, but we don't know what those numbers or those targets are.

Human Resources committee  The history of our programming has changed. We had geographical delivery back in the days of the pathways program in the early nineties. That meant that we served all first nations, aboriginal people, and Inuit within a certain geographical area. When that changed to a politicized structure, our particular AHRDA served our first nation numbers regardless of residency.

Human Resources committee  The program was discontinued in the first year of the ASETS. We were able to access it for 2011, but it has been discontinued since then. The money flowed through our ASETS and AHRDS agreements. I can't recall what it was under the pathways program, but we had access to those funds for our first nations' youth and some for off-reserve.

Human Resources committee  Especially within the trades and apprenticeship sectors, we have seen that the collaboration, the communication that is necessary before any partnership ensues has really been affected at their end. They are now all doing different things to continue. Some sector councils, especially the construction industry, are working with our organizations in Ontario at least, to be able to continue and lend industry support to those endeavours with the ASETAs.

Human Resources committee  Yes, sorry. I can't remember what ASETS is. The SPF funds are also ending in March 2015. You can see, especially in the northern areas, that those SPF projects have actually become duplicates of the ASETS delivery. There are comments from the delivery agents in the northern areas that the SPF projects are doing essentially what the ASETA holders are doing.

Human Resources committee  Through the pathways program, the RBAs, and the AHRDS, and even into year one of the ASETS, an allocation from the Canada summer jobs program was awarded to the ASETS of Ontario and Quebec. It did not occur with any other region. The goal as identified by HRSDC was to bring Ontario and Quebec in line with the rest of the country.

Human Resources committee  I had more points on employment insurance, savings, the SPF and ASEP, Canada summer jobs, NARAM, and FNICCI, but I believe you would all have the text of this too, so I'll just move forward to my recommendations.

Human Resources committee  The recommendations are that the post-2015 strategy be funded as a long-term commission as opposed to a five-year incremental funding, that reparations to Ontario and Alberta under FNICCI be made, that reparations to Ontario and Quebec for the flawed decision regarding Canada summer jobs be made, and that we need to ensure that history and cultural knowledge exchange sessions are written into agreements between the regional office staff of Service Canada and the ASETAs.
