Public Accounts committee  There have been funding changes with the policy changes that have been introduced over the years.

Public Accounts committee  That's all available in the public accounts.

Human Resources committee  As I mentioned in my previous response, there are two tracks of federal investments in training, one through provinces and territories. That is one avenue where we're working on collaborating with all provinces and territories to meet the changing needs of Canadians with respect

Human Resources committee  We're working on improving the training that exists but also making it more accessible for other people to get into it. The pre-apprenticeship training will help make it more accessible for individuals who are struggling to qualify for trades training. There's also the commitme

Human Resources committee  As has been noted, the development of skills is critical to alleviating poverty and getting out of poverty. There are a number of measures that we have, both federally delivered programs and also programs delivered through the provinces and territories. We're working on both fron

We're constantly looking at ways to improve the enforcement, and we will look at this incident as well

Human Resources committee  In and of itself, I would say it's insufficient. There has to be a suite of other measures put in place. We're working with employers across the country to get more access to labour market information. Our national job bank is one such vehicle to promote job vacancies across th

Human Resources committee  I can start, and maybe Janet can jump in. I didn't hear the testimony, but I will certainly undertake to follow up and learn more about that case. In the low-wage stream of the program, which this would fall under now, likely, as.... It could be—

Human Resources committee  The rationale behind that measure was that these were areas of the program that were fairly heavily used and that were in generally low-skilled areas in which, in labour markets with above a 6% unemployment rate, there's an expectation that there will be more Canadians available
