Mr. Speaker, at noon hour I attended a very interesting event where a youth service project that serves both sides of the Outaouais area and a group of young people who were street kids had come together to start their own business in a recycling plant.
As part of the testimony one young man said that he had been on the streets since he was 11 years old. Because of the youth services project he was now able to get a pay cheque. He was now able to plan to go to school. Much more important, he now believed in himself.
I do not think that young man was concerned about jurisdictional turf wars. He was concerned about the Government of Canada which, in co-operation with the private sector and the local community, was giving him a new chance at life. That is what the program is all about.
