Thank you.
Ms. Bezanson, I want to ask you a question quickly. I like this notion of the school-to-work transition strategy. What exactly would it look like? Could you present that in writing to the committee subsequent to this? Could you tell us who the partners are and what the timelines are, recognizing that the focus would be on how, in the current environment, this strategy is going to help? Our government is committed to investing, to growing the economy, and to creating jobs, but with the current market as it is, how does this strategy help us make the connections that you're proposing we make? If you could provide that in writing after, that would be great.
My question this morning is to representatives of the Boys and Girls Clubs.
I heard you say that you need increased access, or that it would help with the work you're doing to have increased access, to after-school programs. You spoke about encouraging success in education and how those after-school programs are successful there. Can you speak about some of the other programs—the youth social justice programs or the meal programs—and how these programs aid in poverty reduction and prevention? I'm thinking of areas of mental health and physical health.
Would you also be able to share any statistical data on the success you have had?
