Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And the Member is right, that Small Community Employment strategy is pretty light on specific details and actions. And as a regular Member especially, I struggled with the value in those. Now being in this position I realize they are valuable. They do help guide decision-making and point you in the right direction. But I can assure the Member that the action plan, which he as a committee member will likely see in the coming weeks, and the public will see probably sometime in the new year, maybe March, will have actions, they will be measurable, some you can start measuring day one, others they will take a bit more time, we can measure them at the conclusion of the action plan which will be for a four-year period.
Along with that, we're going to be introducing more labor market information, so we're updating our labor market forecast.
We also have reports on emerging economies in the territories, so what are the labor needs for tourism, what are the labor needs for those types of emerging economies.
We're also having more of a focus on regional economic profiles so we can, again, get the information in place so that we can get the training in place.
We're also focusing on ensuring that we fill a lot of those little gaps that exist right now. I know right now, if you want to become an apprentice you might not have someone to apprentice under. So we are looking at how can we address that gap right now. And I think there's some interesting ways that we're going to be doing that, so that's definitely going to help small community employment because that's where we're lacking journey persons and lacking opportunities. I'll leave it at that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
