Evaluation Of The Canada New Brunswick Labour Market Development Agreement

"Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) worked jointly with New Brunswick and11 other Provinces and Territories (P/Ts) to undertake the 2012-2017 second cycle of the Labour Market Development Agreement (LMDA) evaluation. The first cycle of the LMDA evaluation was carried out between 1998 and 2012 and involved conducting bilateral formative and summative evaluations in all P/Ts. Under the second cycle, the evaluation work consisted of conducting two to three studies per year on the Employment Benefits and Support Measures (EBSMs) similar programming delivered under these agreements. The studies generated evaluation evidence on the effectiveness, efficiency and design/delivery of EBSMs for Canada, for New Brunswick and for 11 other P/Ts that opted for a joint evaluation process with Canada"--Introduction, p. vi.
