Mr. Speaker, the announcement about the Canada summer jobs was, of course, a good thing. It affected my community as well.
However, there can be both things at once. Because we are supporting students in the workforce over the summer, we should also be supporting those students who are looking at getting an education in a different way because the traditional system does not work for them.
While I agree that it is a great program, I disagree with the government's decision here. They are cutting funding for the people who need it the most.
