Mr. Chair, we know that farmers across Canada have been going through some difficult times in recent months. In my riding, farmers are looking for labour and young people are looking for jobs. The Canada summer jobs program plays a vital role in meeting this demand. I was very pleased to hear that the government has enhanced the youth employment and skills strategy program to help create 700 new jobs for young people in the agriculture sector.
Can the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food tell us when and how our farmers will be able to apply for this new program?
