I will finally get some answers to my questions.
On page 9 of your presentation, it says that the budgets for ridings were reduced by more than 30%, which is incorrect. We provided you with the figures last year. Some lost 66%, and I would like that to be corrected.
I have a great deal of difficulty with some officials. You say that the placements within the Summer Career Placement Program should be decided by members of Parliament. Certain sectors of Service Canada do not allow members of Parliament to become involved with the Summer Career Placement Program. You should communicate with all of your people in the field to tell them that the final word or the final signature is up to the member, because if the official is able to decide, this is all for naught.
You have a 97-million-dollar budget for all of Canada. I am alone in my riding and my share is $1,350,000. As part of our 14 recommendations, we had asked for an increase in the budget. According to my calculations, for 51 members of Parliament alone, the budget would be $75 million. Do you know if there is a budget increase planned for 2007? This is very important.
We tabled 14 recommendations for 2007. Are you aware of any changes that will be implemented in 2007? Do you agree with the committee's report and when will you sign off on it?
