Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the hire a student program offered through Human Resources Development Canada. The human resources centre for students on Prince Edward Island is working diligently to make this anniversary year the most successful hire a student campaign to date.
This year the centre is also offering services to the farming community. Farming operations that require student workers will have their listings posted for interested and qualified candidates to speak directly with them.
To all island businesses that have supported hire a student in the past, a very hearty thank you. And to those employers who have not experienced the positive impact a student can make to their business, I urge them to become part of this year's 30th anniversary of the hire a student program.
Congratulations to all involved in this program under the youth employment strategy.
