Thank you very much.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today.
Actually, Mr. Emmanuel, it's the first time we've had an opportunity to talk to students, so I'm going to ask you a few questions, if that's all right. You're the first witness who is actually a student who has gone through the program.
The Canada summer jobs grants define the goal as providing “flexible and holistic services” to help youth in Canada “develop the skills and gain paid work experience to successfully transition into the labour market”. We've heard from organizations that there are lots of opportunities for employment.
One of the things I am interested in as part of this study is what other things youth are in need of in regard to getting into the labour force. Besides the work, are there other things the Government of Canada could offer? The one I've been thinking about is tax information: disability tax credit eligibility or other tax credit eligibility. I'm just wondering if you could share with us if there are other things that you think could be involved in the summer jobs grants that would help youth transition to the labour market.
