Mr. Speaker, I would be glad to answer that question. It was in fact the previous government that cut this program and decided to wind it down.
The good news is the Department of Foreign Affairs will focus its international youth programs on opportunities for young Canadians, between the ages of 18 and 30, through programs consisting of four components: the working holiday program; the student work abroad program; the young workers exchange program; and the co-op education. These are comparable programs, more efficient and they target the same age.
Why did the member opposite have his government cut the programs?
