The federal government is coming around to my way of thinking. :) Here's Employment Minister Jason Kenney speaking to a conference in Ottawa: "At the end of the day, yes, I'm a Conservative and I stand up in front of business audiences and say, 'You guys have been, to some extent, freeloading on the public training system.' We need to see businesses put more resources into skills development." He's quite right, and one of the major objectives of LPSS is to develop a way for business and industry to make this investment in a way that both servers their own interests and also benefits students.
