Statement made on 29 May 2007 by Senator Marilyn Trenholme Counsell
Hon. Marilyn Trenholme Counsell:
I have another good question, and it is for the Honourable Leader of the Government in the Senate. I hope I receive a straight answer. The subject is Canada Summer Jobs 2007.
Honourable senators, my question has two parts, and I would appreciate a factual answer to both parts. The first part: What was the original budget for Canada Summer Jobs 2007? In dollars, what was the difference compared to 2006 when it was known as the Summer Career Placement Program?
The second part: Has money now been added finally to treat non-profit groups with some small measure of respect: respect for children, disabled citizens, libraries, children's summer camps and the list goes on? If dollars have been added in the last several weeks, how many dollars?
