Finance committee  Good morning. I guess it is still morning. I'm Kim Rudd. I am the member of Parliament for Northumberland—Peterborough South. For context, that is a rural riding in southeastern Ontario.

Finance committee  Again, thank you very much for coming. I have so many questions and so little time. I have a quick question for you, Jennifer, on your presentation. I noticed that you had youth engagement through training teachers, and that right now it's at zero but the anticipation is 375,000

Finance committee  Certainly what we're experiencing across the country, and I know in my community, is a labour shortage in varying degrees. That brings me to you, Mr. Brownell, and what you talk about. I'm familiar with your organization as well, and I know that the work you've been doing has b
