Several witnesses talked about the flexibility and duration of the program. In terms of restrictions—I'll call it that—several talked about 11 to 12 weeks of employment, or 10 to 12 weeks, which differs from the experience I've had in my riding. It must also be said that we have slightly fewer resources. Going back to what was offered before the pandemic, in our opinion, takes no account of demographics, inflation or the cost of living. That's why an increase in the terms and conditions of the program should be considered.
Mr. Shepherd, do you think the number of weeks has much importance given the type of summer camp you offer? Are the consequences different if the duration of employment is only eight weeks versus 11 or 12 weeks?
