Mr. Speaker, the government has taken action to prepare young Canadians for the jobs of the knowledge-based economy towards which we are headed.
In the budget we launched the Canadian opportunities strategy precisely to expand access for Canadians to the skills and knowledge which they will need to succeed in the future. For example, we will offer the Canada millennium scholarships. We have increased assistance for advanced research. We are helping post-secondary graduates to manage their student debt loads.
My department is working with Industry Canada and the software industry to increase the number of students who will get the information they need to succeed.
