The Federal government launched the Labour Force Development Strategy(LFDS) in 1989, a comprehensive, long-range plan for building a strong, highly skilled and internationally competitive work force. The strategy emphasized that the private sector must be prepared to put more time, effort and resources into developing a skilled, competitive work force. It also stated that Governments must be prepared to work more closely with the private sector-giving business, labour, and social action groups a more direct say in how federal and provincial resources are used to address labour market problems. 3, record 3, English, - Labour%20Force%20Development%20Strategy

Of the ministère des Transports of Québec. This policy deals with the selection of pavement types. It covers a five-year period and is a core component of our road system management policy. Comprehensive in approach rather than project-based, it set outs the most appropriate types of pavement for roads under the Department's jurisdiction. The analysis methodology it stipulates is a thorough, proven approach based on consistent, verifiable parameters and a transparent development process throughout. The new policy, which replaces the Policy on the Construction and Maintenance of Cement Concrete pavements in force since 1995, allows greater consideration of new technologies and road work requirements through its integrated approach under a comprehensive Québec pavement management framework. Implementation of this policy must fit with road work planning strategies and the Department's financial capabilities. In drawing up this new policy, the Department met with representatives of the concrete and asphalt industries as well as the Association des constructeurs de routes et grands travaux du Québec(Québec' s road builders’ association) in order to take their views into account. 1, record 6, English, - Departmental%20Policy%20on%20pavement%20type%20selection

Du ministère des Transports du Québec. La présente orientation traite du choix des types de chaussées. D'une portée de cinq ans, cette orientation devient une pièce maîtresse dans la gestion du réseau routier. Non seulement détermine-t-elle pour les différents tronçons du réseau routier sous la responsabilité du Ministère, les types de chaussées qui sont les mieux adaptées, mais elle privilégie aussi une approche globale plutôt que par projet. L'orientation contient une méthodologie d'analyse rigoureuse et reconnue qui fait appel à des paramètres cohérents et vérifiables et favorise un processus d'élaboration transparent dans l'ensemble de la démarche. Remplaçant la Politique de construction et de conservation des chaussées de béton de ciment en vigueur depuis 1995, la nouvelle orientation permet, notamment, de mieux tenir compte des nouvelles technologies, de même que des besoins en matière d'interventions sur le réseau routier, en privilégiant une approche intégrée dans un cadre de gestion globale des chaussées au Québec. 1, record 6, French, - Orientation%20minist%C3%A9rielle%20sur%20le%20choix%20des%20types%20de%20chauss%C3%A9e

The Initiative was registered in June, 1996, as a 501(c)(3) organization in the United States. John Abbott, a driving force behind Education 2000, became the organization's president. 1, record 9, English, - 21st%20Century%20Learning%20Initiative
