The distribution of 2000-01 summer career placements funding for the Quebec region was based on an allocation formula which used, among other variables, the full time student population aged 15 to 24. This variable uses Statistics Canada data and is calculated based upon a four month average for the period of May to August. The survey question from which this data is derived asks the location of permanent residency defined as residency for 30 days or more during the course of the year.
The allocation formula for summer career placements 2001-02 and the funding allocations are presently being finalized.
Madam Speaker, I ask that the remaining questions be allowed to stand.
