We have very strong ties with youth groups across Canada. There's Deaf Youth Canada, and a deaf and hard of hearing association in the Atlantic area. Their executive director is on our board of directors. We collaborate with Deaf Youth Canada on what we call the Deaf Canada Conference and the Canadian Deaf Youth Leadership Camp every two years.
I can tell you that this generation of young deaf people is angry. This generation is very, very, angry. They basically feel alienated completely from society, because society has done nothing for them and is offering nothing to them now. Their education has been terrible. They have no employment prospects in society. They're very angry.
What they are doing now is they are building their own lives apart from society, and that includes setting up their own employment, finding their own jobs or whatever, mostly on the Internet. I have to say again that it's mostly Internet-based employment that they're doing now. A few of them have actually created their own online news channel. Everything comes out in sign language. All the daily happenings out there are in sign language so that everybody around the world who's deaf can understand what's going on. They came up with that themselves, and it's fantastic. They got sponsors for it, and it's good sponsorship, too.
That basically goes back to what I said in my presentation, that self-employment is almost the only viable prospect for most deaf people nowadays.
