Mr. Speaker, we are talking about allocating money that is ready to be spent. The Prime Minister's reply simply illustrates my point that there is nothing new or creative or bold being said.
Real Reformers have been calling for a portion of federal educational transfers to be paid directly to young people through education and training vouchers and for immediate revamping of the students loan program to make repayments income-contingent.
These are bold and new ideas for encouraging youth preparation for the new economy. Could the Prime Minister tell us why new ideas like these are not an integral part of the government's thinking or announcements on this subject.
