Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It varies. In some cases, the training that is offered is enough to allow somebody to move directly to a jobsite. In other instances, there will be other training that's required. So it's a similar model as we've seen with the mining region where we've got another aboriginal skills and employment partnership under way, and that's where the companies themselves have set the training. So it's really something that is a partnership and we can't say this is the kind of training that you need. What was happening in the past was we were doing that, and too often people weren't finding that they were ready for the jobs that were out there. What we've got now is a model that brings the employers right into the decision-making about what training is going to take place, and that has been far more successful at getting people into the job force after the training.
