Mr. Speaker, earlier this month I attended the openings of two human resource centres in Brampton and Malton. In my riding the federal government is contributing $174,572 toward a summer job placement program to help create 101 local summer jobs.
At least 50 local businesses and organizations are involved, including one public sector and 10 non-profit organizations.
Private sector firms offering summer job placements include: Allders International, Davroc Test Labs, Keyes Management, Par Pak, Thomson Terminals, Sommerville Package and West Pro Sales.
I would encourage Canadians to hire some youthful energy this summer by hiring a student.
