Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to confirm to the House that our department has come in under budget.
The NDP judges success by how much taxpayer money it can shovel blindly out the door. We judge success by the number of young people we can help employ.
The Canada apprentice grant is one example. We gave out half a million Canada apprentice grants, including to Nina Widmer, who was able to graduate debt free, win the national skills competition, and open her own masonry business. We are proud of Nina, and we are proud of the hundreds of thousands of other young people we have helped get apprenticeships.
