Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am just wondering about student summer employment. Since I do not see any seasonal or casual positions throughout the Department of Justice, does Justice typically hire any summer students? If so, what would they be classified under?

Yes, we do hire summer students. I think we classify it under casuals. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason for my question is that I do not see any casual positions identified under the main estimates. I am just wondering if that is a mistake or if in fact they do have some casual positions they can use for student summer employment.

The funding for casuals for summer students is actually not budgeted specifically because they are usually hired in the program areas with filling vacations for full-time employees who are on vacation throughout the department. There is funding that is planned for summer students in the compensation services salary budget, but we do not actually identify the casual positions.
I am not sure if that answers your question, but yes, there always is a plan within the Department of Justice to hire summer students. We are just going through the process now of determining the needs and the numbers for this upcoming summer for the university students returning in April.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If they have not set the number of positions they are going to have for this year, do they know the number of university students who were hired last year? Do they also try and target those students who are taking law at university?

We do not have the numbers of students that were hired last year. We will get that number for the honourable Member by tomorrow.
Yes, we are targeting students who are taking law. We have a bursary program that we have that part of the deal is for them to work through the summer. Yes, we are targeting all law students. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When does the department expect they will have the estimates for the numbers of summer students that they will hire this year? The reason I am asking this is I am little bit surprised that you do not have it right now. I understand the Minister of Education, Culture, and Employment has offered a briefing to one of our standing committees on maximizing northern employment. I would have thought that that would be part of this overall briefing of the summer student employment. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Yes, we were hoping to have that information by the middle of this month, March. That was the deadline that was set for us. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For student summer employment, does the department strictly adhere to the Affirmative Action Policy when hiring summer students as well?

My apologies, Mr. Chairman. I would say yes, we certainly do our best to make every effort to do that. Priority is given to P1 candidates, the affirmative action candidates, in any consideration for summer employment and residents from the North returning from schools in the south.
