Thank you, Minister.
My colleague Mr. Cuzner mentioned he had chatted with you about a local issue in his riding that I have in my riding as well. I want to thank you for your attention to that, and Alison, as well, in your office, who's been very kind in getting back to me.
It is an issue that requires monitoring, and I'm going to ask you to consider, please, staying on top of that on behalf of the 500-plus Moirs workers in my area, who are out of work now this month. It's a very serious situation that involves employer-sponsored training. I'm going to ask you to take care of that.
I want to make one comment about the millennium scholarship. There had been concerns over the last five years or so about the millennium scholarship, but those concerns have been answered. It is an accountable organization. Even the Auditor General, who had concerns halfway through the program, indicates it an accountable organization. A very high percentage of the money is going to the students. A very high percentage of it is needs-based. It works across Canada in all the provinces and territories. It's providing $350 million in funding for students.
I urge you...the government has a habit of taking programs that work and changing them and then they don't work. We've been talking about the Canada summer jobs program, so I have an idea. If you want to change it, take it, change the name, keep the same initials. Instead of calling it the Millennium Scholarship Foundation, call it the Monte Solberg Foundation, but leave the program as it is because it works. It works for Canadian students.
