Thank you for your kind words about the report. The report showed that there's a mismatch between youth and SMEs, very often, when it comes to employment. SMEs hire mostly through their own networks, while youth are looking online, so they're not necessarily finding each other. There's often a salary mismatch between the expectations of the youth and what SMEs can afford.
Our report highlighted the Canada summer jobs program as a red tape example. For example, we say that it's rigid and has poorly timed deadlines. For example, business have to make a decision on their hire in December for the next summer's openings. Often, businesses don't really know what their plan is, in December, for the next summer. To boost youth hiring, we are recommending introducing targeted tax relief and targeted tax credits. We recommend putting in place EI reductions to hire youth. That would boost employment.
