Mr. Speaker, across Canada this summer, students are looking for summer jobs. In Halifax West we are responding.
The summer career placement program is off to a promising start. Over 100 sponsors have joined the federal government to create over 200 summer jobs for our youth. These are not just McJobs. They include lifeguards, veterinary assistants and community development officers, all worthwhile activities.
I am confident the summer career placement program will be a resounding success.
From Terrance Bay to Timberlea, from Boutiliers Point to Bedford, students are working this summer in Halifax West.
