Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Today the government announced the student summer jobs program with not one dollar more than last year. Worse, the program promises young people 10,000 fewer jobs than last year.
Remarkably the government had no trouble finding funds for a new promotion program. Is this glitzy promotion package, with its whiz-bang, high tech, all plastic ballpoint pens, in the Prime Minister's view any substitute for real investment in desperately needed jobs for young Canadians?
