Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Rempel.
I think there's a real difference between the two programs, particularly as regards co‑ops, as well as work-integrated learning for post-secondary students. Many Quebec universities have adopted this arrangement. It's an education program.
However, our goal for the Canada summer jobs program is to determine how we can improve it. It has to meet specific objectives, which aren't the objectives of a workplace co‑op, an alternating work-study program or a skills development program.
I'm trying to get a clear understanding of what you're saying. I apologize to our witnesses from Statistics Canada, but, since there are no statistics on the Canada summer jobs program, I'm going to keep putting my questions to Mr. Rempel.
Mr. Rempel, do you think the Canada summer jobs program should be improved with regard to funding and job offers?
