No, I did not say that it had shortcomings. I said that we needed a national program with youth engagement and digital platforms. That is what I advised the Prime Minister. He also received advice from other senior officials. That said, my advice was really based on my experience related to the Canada Service Corps program. I noted that a national organization such as WE Charity was an option to consider going forward. That was really based on my experience, and not on any details of WE Charity's proposal.
