Mr. Speaker, my colleague's speech was a great description of what the Canada summer jobs program was and how MPs interacted with it.
All of us here work very hard every year, going through those lists to ensure that many young Canadians get good jobs in the summer. We really appreciate the program but we do have problems with it. Every job that my riding received last year had a maximum of nine or ten weeks, which excluded all university students. We had problems like that.
I was glad the member for Timmins—James Bay mentioned the good work that faith-based organizations do. We have a lot of those groups in my riding and I volunteer with a lot of them in the summer. I am so impressed.
Could the member expand on that aspect of this debate?
