With all due respect, just so we have all the facts on the table, there is almost a 40 per cent drop between what we hired last year and what we’re presently hiring this year. I appreciate the Minister saying there’s going to be some notice, but we’ll be in a situation where that’s too little, too late. A number of these students could be providing desperately needed relief to the departments through some of their projects, and students need money; I mean, let’s not kid ourselves. They need money for their education; they need money to make sure they can get out there. So, Mr. Speaker, would the Minister press forward on this issue to make sure that that notice is launched right away, as well as do some public education to let students know that opportunities are coming forward?
