Mr. Speaker, I am particularly delighted to draw your attention to a new idea developed by the Centre d'initiative pour l'emploi de Lotbinière-Ouest. This non profit organization run by volunteers works to create jobs for people between 18 and 40. Up to now they have lent venture capital to individuals.
Since March 22, groups of five or more working to create jobs in projects benefiting the community can get a loan of up to $10,000.
To date, this organization has made it possible to create or consolidate 221 jobs in my riding. With innovative ideas such as these, we will one day make our part of the country prosperous. Hats off to the Centre d'initiative pour l'emploi de Lotbinière-Ouest.
