Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce that over 70 student jobs will be created in my riding of Vancouver Kingsway through the HRDC summer student employment program.
With over 26 different employers in my riding this program will help the many community groups with their summer staffing requirements while providing valuable summer work experience for the young people of Vancouver Kingsway. Without the help of the federal government, those jobs would not be available.
I congratulate HRDC for continuing the funding of this important program. We wish all students and community groups involved in the program success this summer.
