As you likely know, the Prime Minister took on the role of minister for youth in addition to being Prime Minister. The PCO, in supporting the Prime Minister, has a secretariat for youth and a deputy minister supporting the prime minister in that role. I would say, before I get to the outcome, that we have to talk about how we got there.
One of the big things that was set out was to consult youth across the country in a number of different ways. As the department, we sought out input from youth from across the country, got about 10,000 individual responses in the first stage, and then did 18 in-person sessions throughout Canada that kind of validated what we heard.
The outcome of that was a youth policy that had a number of different, very specific priority areas: leadership and impact; health and wellness; innovation; skills and learning; employment; truth and reconciliation; and environment and climate change. This culminated in the first-ever youth summit that was hosted just recently. It was an excellent success and an example of the federal government's bringing resources to bear to support the Prime Minister in this particular role to bring youth together and to discuss this.
From this, it will be the question of where we go next. A lot of that will be to come. We will report on a regular basis on the progress, and that will be progress across government, not unique to PCO. It's a theme, and we'll now turn to departments to ask what they can do on each of these themes, and we'll report back to the public on what we do.
