Post-secondary students are generally finished school by May or June each year, and they start looking for summer work much earlier than that.
Given that the CSJ applications don't open until December or January of each year, in many cases, sometimes by the time the application has been processed, many qualified students have found work elsewhere. Many organizations in my riding have told me that this timeline makes it very difficult for them to recruit workers.
Going forward, will this government commit to opening up applications earlier in the year to give businesses and workers more time to plan?
