Abstract
The motivation behind this paper was the decision of the federal government to devolve responsibility for occupational training to the provincial governments. As a result of the 1996 Employment Insurance Act, the federal government was empowered to negotiate labour market development agreements with each province. Through these agreements, Ottawa would transfer funds to the provinces to design, develop and deliver active employment measures broadly similar to those described in Part 2 of the Act. Thus far, all of the provinces and territories, except Ontario, have signed agreements with the federal government.
