We on this side of the House have plans for how difficult it is going to be even to access a Small Community Employment Program under its current rules. We are trying to talk to the government about changing some of the rules so that we can access that program as an employment program, not something where we have made a request somewhere, and if we do not get that request, we are going to take that money and place it in there. This is a separate request.

I think the Minister should keep those requests separately. If this Minister is then going to say, well, this would be a good way for the Small Community Program to leverage something here for employment, well, that is not our intention. We have all kinds of other projects in the communities that need to be done. That money is just barely enough to go around to the 33 communities to get that. Not an opportunity for DOT to then say, oh well, whatever short you are for this road, you can take it out this Small Communities Employment Program. It is not our intention.

The communities that we represent, we have been talking to, they have other plans for this. This is a separate thing. This is where the guys are running equipment. I talked about it earlier in my opening comments. This is something where people learn how to run equipment and things like that. Opportunities for training for them to get other jobs, running equipment, and so on. This is not something that you could use to leverage small community employment dollars with. Thank you.
