I think that's exactly what we're doing. The economy is hotter, and those jobs were going to be created by the companies anyhow.
We're listening to witnesses again and again going on about the shortage of good, qualified people, so I think they all exist. I don't think it ever was about taking poverty levels across Canada. This was always about creating jobs for students and encouraging especially non-government organizations to create jobs for students so they would be able to work in their own communities.
I think it's targeting more communities instead of focusing it on just companies, businesses, and industries that would have created them anyhow. It's for the groups that would like to hire summer students, and to be able to continue it.
I don't really think you're testing each riding to see what the poverty level is; you're trying to get students to work. It's about students. We know businesses exist that are short of employees, but this is to encourage non-government organizations to hire students.
