I can't speak to what the committee did; I wasn't here when the committee did their discussion of that. If there's an issue, if the government is saying there is a percentage of this money that's going to large corporations and that's not appropriate, then put that stipulation in the program—just put it in the program.
I wouldn't oppose that, and I don't think any Liberal would oppose that. I'll be honest with you: if Service Canada comes to me and asks what I think.... I've told Service Canada that I'm not picking winners and losers in my riding. I think it should be not-for-profit. I gave them the criterion that it should be youth, seniors, persons with disabilities, mental health issues, and there are two or three others. Not a single MP in the country knows every organization in their community. But it should be for not-for-profit. That's all I've said.
If the government has a problem with that, just say that it can't go to a multinational or national employer with more than 50 people. That's not a problem.
The point is that they've cut the amount of money. There will be fewer students hired. First and foremost, the program is to provide support in the summer for students who need to make money, primarily for tuition, and also to get some practical experience in an area of interest where they're doing their studies.
That's all that has to happen, and we wouldn't have a problem with that.
