We worked closely with student organizations to develop these measures. They asked us for assistance, not only in the form of a benefit, but also as loans and grants. They asked us to create employment and volunteer opportunities because young people want to work and serve their communities. That's why we made a number of announcements yesterday about all of these measures.
So it is not just about the benefit. If it were, what you are saying could turn out to be true. However, people have asked us to create these opportunities and these jobs, because they want this experience, and if they cannot work, they want to serve their community. That is why we established the Canada student service grant.
Those who have volunteered for a certain number of hours over the summer will be eligible to receive a Government of Canada grant of $1,000, $3,000 or $5,000 at the end of the summer.
