Statements in Debates
Thank you, and I think Mr. Lovely with his response earlier answered that question with the future reductions going on with the college. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have seen some success in this program. I do believe we had 200 people in the last fiscal year do onthejob training, and then an additional 69 through some of the community projects. So it is being utilized. We also have to make sure that our communities also take some of that responsibility in getting some of their residents employed, and that is where we have the partnerships on community projects as well as the wage subsidy. So we want to work with employers, we want to work with our stakeholders, in getting our residents into jobs. We have seen it work. We have...
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Pending that we have partnership with an organization in the community, I think it is going to be a possibility. Moving forward, we are working with the other departments on projects that they have, as well, through other areas, but pending that we do have those partnerships with organizations and have an employer that we can definitely deliver this, it would be a great idea following our Skills 4 Success as well as onthejob training and the skill development for our residents. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is something that we are working on. I can't give a firm date to the Member at this moment. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. The process was that in September we approached Aurora College with reductions. They came back with revised reductions that they wanted to see in November. Those were finalized. Those revisions were put into the main estimates in December and sent to P and P.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With the Small Community Employment Support Program as well as the contract services, the question asked earlier, was that money fully utilized, we said it wasn't. We have to get the details on where those pots of money didn't get fully utilized. I will get back to the Member on that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's pretty detailed information that we don't have in front of us, so we're going to have to get that information for the Member and we will share it with him. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. We did make some reductions within the administration within the authorities, and I believe it's 600 this year and 200 next year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
