Summer jobs are important as well in building work experience. Last summer, the summer job market was one of the worst we've seen in about 40 years. It was just a tough market for summer jobs. In 2005, the Canada summer jobs grant created 70,000 jobs. In 2013 it created 35,000 jobs. The program has changed.
Would you agree that increased funding for the Canada summer jobs program would be one way to address, in a tangible way, the need for young people to get job experience now?
You may have an opinion on this, but others may have a view on it as well.
