Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the warning that he would be raising this important question.
The overall funding for summer career placement has not changed. It is still at the level of $190 million a year. It is based on a longstanding formula of the level of unemployment and the number of students in a particular region.
I take note of the member's interest. I have heard a number of other MPs say that they may not be satisfied with the present method of distribution. I will ask my officials to look into this to make sure we serve students as well as we possibly can.
