First of all, creating summer jobs for young Canadians is really important. It allows them to gain experience and to pay for their post-secondary education. After the financial crisis of 2008, we lost about 300,000 jobs for young Canadians. That was one cohort that didn't really come back during the recovery, and it has remained a real issue. The previous government reduced the number of summer jobs created by the program to the extent that in 2012-13 it was creating half the number of summer jobs that it was creating in 2005 before the financial crisis. We saw this, so we're effectively doubling the number of summer jobs being created, from 34,000 in 2015 to about 70,000 in 2016.
