Mr. Speaker, we do want to help students get prepared, not just for summer jobs but also for their careers in the long term.
That is why I was very pleased to announce last week the launch of Canada's summer jobs program for this summer with an additional $10 million in permanent funding. That is an additional 3,500 jobs for students each and every year going forward.
These funds will help them get the jobs they need to get experience, and also help pay for their studies going forward so they will not have to go as far into debt.
