Mr. Speaker, just three months ago the Minister of Human Resources Development said that job prospects for young Canadians are brighter than they have been in years. This morning we find that in Ontario more than 50,000 people have been added to the rolls looking for work. More than half of those are young people, bringing it up to 15.7%.
Earlier today we heard about the summer career placement program and the funding it has received. If the government wants to do something about youth unemployment, would it consider adding funds to that program so at least people coming out of the colleges and universities will have a chance for a decent summer job?
