Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My question is for ESDC and we heard from some witnesses that internships were crucial to facilitating the integration of a new graduate into the video game industry and especially these higher-tiered jobs.

In the last budget the government did announce a program to support internships in high-demand fields like the video game industry. How many of the 3,000 new internships will be in the video game industry?
