Mr. Speaker, the New Brunswick job corps program was a program designed to employ older workers. In fact there are about 1,000 older workers employed in the program and there is some concern that the program will be cancelled.
I point out to the House and to the minister that in all quarters and by any measurement, political measurement included, this program was a great success. We are concerned that it may not be renewed.
Could the minister give use some assurances that he is considering renewing the program for those older workers who otherwise would not have jobs?
