Well, Mr. Chairman, we are expecting employers to offer students half a job and the students are not going to be happy with that, so they could be out of work at the end of June and not be able to find another job. Mr. Chairman, I do not think that is acceptable. I think that is a rather poor approach. I think we need to hear the Minister commit to finding money from whatever source, to ensure that this program is fully funded throughout this year. If that means changes along the way, he will have to make them.

You cannot expect an employer to tell a student that they are going to hire them through the end of June, and then hope the program is renewed so that they can hire them again for July and August. It is not reasonable to expect a student to take a job for that period of time.

Will the Minister agree, while he only has $150,000 in this interim budget for this program, that he will commit to re-allocation of funds if necessary, to ensure that the department can go ahead and sign contracts for the entire summer period? Let us take our students through with the jobs to the end of August into early September, so they know they will have enough money to go back to school.
