Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am surprised that we have not heard more from non-government organizations, expecting that they will be able to get more funding. I would like to reiterate for the Minister that I believe the Members in this House feel as strongly about adult basic education as we do about student summer employment. So I hope that will be reflected in the mains.
Looking again at the student summer employment program, there is $150,000 in this interim budget for that program. During our committee review, we were advised that this was felt to be enough money to ensure that all payments that would be required until we passed the mains would be able to be met. That would mean the invoices that were sent in for the first couple of months, but likely not amounts that might be required to run the program through July, even. My question is, when an employer comes to the department now and offers to hire a student and is looking for that waive subsidy, will the department sign a four-month, five-month or six-month agreement to take the employer and the student through to September? Or will the contracts all be ending in July, because we have an interim appropriation?
