Mr. Speaker, the only concern I have with what the member says is that the efforts they are making now do not even come close to bringing it back to the 1993 levels when this government took over.
If he wants to know what we can do for our young people, one of these days I will send him over a good old Irish tape with a song called the the Flight of Earls, which talks about the young people 15 to 20 years ago leaving Ireland in droves to find employment elsewhere. They were not giving up on their country; they were giving up on the possibility of finding work. They were saying “Some day we might be able to go back”.
Ireland believed in its youth. This government does not. Ireland invested in its youth. This government is not investing, except for paltry excuses of moneys that it announces time after time after time. The government talks about all the money, and they are the same dollars it is talking about.
