Thank you, Mr. Chair. We talk about youth being a priority, and here’s a good opportunity for us to show that.
I know MACA contributes money to youth, but when you start to make reductions and you target youth and sport specifically, then you’re obviously going to get an outcry, because youth and sport are important in the communities.
MACA still does what they have to do in the communities, as far as that goes, but this one here is another one where a youth worker, not being paid a huge amount of money, is being affected while there are others sitting in senior management, higher paying jobs, who really don’t contribute as much. I’m not questioning what they do, but these people contribute on the front line, and I think that’s got to be recognized.
With that, I will be supporting this motion that my colleague from Deh Cho put forward.
