That's great. I'm very interested in that.
It says here it is mandatory for the employer to respond to a follow-up survey, but for participants in the program it's not necessarily mandatory. Could this committee please get the qualitative and quantitative information from the student participants? I'd love to be able to see that.
I want to ask another question about participants involved in this program.
Many young people don't know about their tax filings. Many young people don't know about the disability tax credit. They don't know about the caregiver credit, and many of them may be doing caregiving at home.
Are there other skills and tools and knowledge around tax filings and things to which these students are entitled that the Government of Canada can pass on to them as they're funnelled into and out of the program?
I'm going to share an example. A young person in my riding who was hired as a cook through the summer jobs program didn't realize that they would be potentially eligible for the disability tax credit based on some of their learning abilities. These had been identified all through their schooling, but they were not aware that they were entitled to some tax credits when they went into the job market.
I wonder if there is an opportunity for us to be educating them as they come into and out of the program.
