Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Speevak, for coming before the finance committee today to discuss this very important issue, and to your team for all the work you do.
I'd like to touch a little bit more on the pay issue.
Over 35,000 students applied for the CSSG, and they understood the model used to determine their pay and the general roles and responsibilities they would take on with charities. I'd like to understand a little more why you are so opposed to this program, given the fact that students who were looking to serve their communities knew what they were signing up for and were happy with the compensation they would receive for their work and all the good they would do to fill in the gap that cash-strapped charities are not able to fill.
