Mr. Speaker, as members will recall, last spring we introduced a major program for youth employment which sponsored in particular major internship programs in which we would work with the private sector and educational institutions to sponsor on the job training programs for young people.
Up to this point the program has only been working for four or five months. Already close to 10,000 young people have enrolled through private sector arrangements to help them with that major problem of school to work transition. It is our aim by next year to have close to 60,000 young people enrolled.
I believe the new wave of the future is to bring business, government and education into partnership to provide better opportunities for Canadian youths.
