This document is a report by the Canadian Labour Force Development Board to the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development regarding Social Security Reform. In March 1994, the CLFDB presented the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development with some concepts that define the essential ingredients of a truly effective, efficient and equitable training and labour force adjustment system. In November, the CLFDB gave the committee its views on proposals contained in the government's discussion paper on social security reform (the green paper). This paper elaborates on moving those suggestions from concept to practice. The ideas were developed from the significant work of the CLFDB over three years, including a special cross-country consultation with over 500 program participants, delivery agents and coordinators; deliberations of a CLFDB working group; and a recent forum involving over 180 representatives of all labour market partners and federal and provincial/territorial governments.
