Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance again, on the subject of the summer employment program called Working Together. Mr. Speaker, there seemed to be some indication that the Cabinet was prepared to entertain discussions further on Friday, but I think we were as well, Mr. Speaker, but for some reason or other, we adjourned. I think personally I was quite prepared to sit Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but there was a decision to adjourn until today. There is some concern on my part to have the suggestion that we pass this budget in the time frame that we did when the big issue is education, and it is of concern to many people out there.
Mr. Speaker, to get to my point of the question, we have been talking about ensuring employment for students for a number of years now. It seems strange to me that we have a special program called Working Together which becomes part of the budget and only if the budget is passed do we have that summer student employment program. I do not think that was ever the intent of any Member here. I cannot speak for everyone here, but certainly for some of my colleagues, I think it was an intent that we have a summer employment program. Can the Minister tell me, is this program predicated on us passing this budget with specifically this million dollars in order to have any kind of employment of students this summer? Thank you.
