Madam Chair, I appreciate that question.
Very briefly, in theory everybody working on the Hill is covered by certain policies and procedures. In my experience, as the previous director and as an intern, volunteers tend to have fewer supports and less training. This isn't the case consistently, but often, if you're not paid, there is a certain lack of support. That's troubling.
Certainly, the Hill can be a challenging place for young people to work. The goal should be to ensure that as many people with as many supports as possible are on the Hill versus people without those supports.
