Here is Alex Usher's criticism of the Future Skills Council report: "It is a 50-page document. That purports to provide a vision of learning in Canada. And it uses the word 'provinces' exactly twice." I can verify that his page and word counts are correct. But in addition to the jurisdictional issues, Usher is critical of the idea of "a government-run career website" as "one of five key pillars to making Canada a learning nation." This, in addition to the recommendation to "promote, enable and validate skills development and training in all their diverse forms" leads him to express concern that the "Federal government might soon be in the business of 'accrediting' skills." Disaster lies this way, he says, and I'm hard-pressed to disagree.
