Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to table a petition signed by 679 residents of the riding of Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, which I have the honour of representing here, in the House of Commons. This petition deals with the cuts to the summer career placement program.
These petitioners note mainly that, financially, students really need to work over the summer and that these cuts will prevent many of them from finding summer employment. In addition, because they will not be able to rely on funding from this program, the community agencies which are working very hard to try and provide services to the community might have to reconsider providing some services.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon the Conservative government to maintain and even enhance the summer career placement program.
