Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I first want to thank all the witnesses for your appearances today and the testimony that you're providing to get us to the 100% mark in unanimity in terms of those who are satisfied with the program.
Mr. Ferris, I'll start with you. It has been a very tremendously successful program, as 96% of participants who are employers who have participated are satisfied with the program. That number is a bit lower for volunteers, for the youth participants. They're just under the 90% mark.
Your testimony here today helps us in improving the program and in tweaking some of the recommendations that have been made, so I'll start with you, Mr. Ferris.
You mentioned the living wage. I think you're one of the first witnesses to mention a living wage. Can you advise the committee what that means in terms of what's paid through the program right now and the support you get through Canada summer jobs, and what the difference would be if we were to support a higher premium as it relates to a living wage?
