Thank you. I would like to urge the Minister and the department to continue in this direction. From my experience at university, it seemed that there were always advertisements for co-op programs. One of the selling points was when you looked at the statistics of students who graduated from university and their level of employment compared to students who graduated from university with an extra six months or a year of co-op involvement, it was night and day. Almost 98 percent of the co-op students had jobs when they left university. I think it was because it helps them overcome the hurdle of the situation that when you graduate from school, you have a piece of paper and an education, yet you have no experience.
I think this really helps solve that problem. I would like to urge the Minister to continue to work hard to develop partnerships with the private sector. I am glad to hear that he is going down this road. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
