Mr. Speaker, the government has absolutely left students behind. It has left many Canadians behind.
That money, that $912 million, could have had an impact it if it had been invested, for example, in the regular Canada summer jobs program, if the government had fully funded those programs. The nearly $1 billion could have been added to a program that already existed.
In all of the ways that the government could have invested in students, instead it missed the opportunity. The government took the opportunity to look out for its Liberal friends and well-connected insiders, and it let Canadians down.
