Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as Members will be aware, as part of the Northern Employment Strategy the government announced an extra $2 million that was provided in this current budget year as well as another $2 million in the next budget year, which is aimed at improving summer student and youth employment. How that program works is employers can apply for a subsidy to assist them when hiring young people. Mr. Speaker, this program should result in an extra 10,000 work weeks of employment for students and young people in the territories.
