I would suggest that the students who need the jobs aren't going to get them.
In response to my question about the Autism Society of Nova Scotia, you referenced a Moncton group. I'm not sure if you're aware that Moncton and Dartmouth are in different provinces.
Since you mentioned New Brunswick, my colleague Paul Zed put out a press release, because he's been hearing the same thing I have. In his community, the YM-YWCA was denied funding, as were the Boys and Girls Club of Saint John, Saint John Arts Centre, the Canadian Cancer Society, the teen resource centre, and Turnbull Nursing Home.
All across the country, MPs and Service Canada are hearing from people who are asking why, in a time of plenty, in a time of massive surpluses, you would cut jobs to students. I think it's a good question. I think it's a disgrace.
I will now give my time to Ruby Dhalla.
How did I do?
