It's something I personally have been looking into to see if we can recommend it. I think there also needs to be a more targeted approach in areas where youth unemployment is higher than the national average. In Brampton East I live in a very much upper middle-class riding where youth unemployment is not that high, but we still received $500,000. It's great for the local MP, but is it best for the country, moving forward? That's something we'll take away.
You mentioned mentorship. I'm a product of great mentorship. I used to work for the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development when I was 19, and 10 years later I get to sit alongside him in the House, so I'm a big fan. We've been trying to start mentorship programs in our riding. The problem is that we can't get young Canadians engaged enough. I almost feel that the mentors are ready but the mentees aren't, and you can't force a child to participate.
What are your comments on how we could do a better job of that?
