Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I personally have not had a chance to be in contact with industry with regard to education specifically. I do know that the department has been working closely with industry for a number of years now at the college level in particular to try to design our program to fit the needs in industry.
We are also looking at the school improvement program, the successful schools project and a number of other initiatives to see if there are ways that we can make our schools more successful. Success means students going on to further training and jobs, so that ties in with industry.
We have been doing a lot of work on adult basic education. We are doing some work with youth employment. There is a whole range of areas we are working with. I am not familiar with the detail of each of these specific programs right now, but I will assure the Member that we will continue to work with industry. If there are ways of improving that, then we will do it.
I have personally been involved with community mobilization, for example, the young people who run an organization called Nexus, to do this and draw that link between industry and young people. I find a lot of those initiatives through the private sector are the way that we have to take a lot of our schools. Thank you.
