Last year in the House, we asked for greater investments in the Canada summer jobs program rather than this program. We were told that the government would look into it. In the end, that didn't happen.
It would have been a good idea to hire students. Canadian businesses wanted to hire employees, but we had to turn them down because there wasn't enough money in the program. If we had invested a few tens of millions of dollars more, all the employers who wanted to hire students could have done so. That also would have been a good idea.
