Accountability regimes in federal‐provincial Labour Market Agreements 1995‐2015

Workforce development policy in Canada has undergone extensive reforms in the past two decades, often driven by intergovernmental pressures.

Accountability measures have remained weak as the federal and provincial governments have few incentives to increase public scrutiny. In particular, transparency (making information available for public scrutiny) and justification (the provision of reasons for decisions) are inadequate. A more inclusive public accountability framework in the policy area needs to be developed that can support innovation in programs
