Mr. Speaker, I do not even believe that. I am sorry the Liberals are troubled by the end of the culture of entitlement. I am sorry they cannot see the corruption Canadians found in their old summer replacement program. I am sorry they are finding it so hard to be in opposition without this remnant of pork barrel politics that keeps their instincts sharp.
For the rest of Canadians, I am pleased to say that we have delivered what they want. The same amount of funding for the non-profit sector is there. We understand and value the work of non-profit employers that rarely have access to other sources of funding and consistently create high quality jobs.
Canadians know and have pointed out that public and private sector employers have access to other sources of funding. Students are enjoying Canada's strong labour market. Opportunity is already there.
For those who face barriers, Canada summer jobs benefits students in communities across the country, especially remote and rural communities and those communities experiencing high unemployment and high crime rates. Canada summer jobs is there for students with disabilities, aboriginal students and others who need it.
