Mr. Speaker, it is good to be back in the House with colleagues from across the country. We are here to build Canada strong. This summer, I visited organizations across my riding that were supported through Canada summer jobs. Our government invested $1.4 million in Pierrefonds—Dollard. That helped create 271 youth jobs in 72 community organizations. Many organizations, including community pools, youth centres like À-Ma-Baie, food banks like On Rock, the Cloverdale family centre and Éco-quartier, all gave young people the chance to develop their skills. When young people succeed, Canada does too. Congratulations to all the young people who worked hard at their jobs. I wish them a great school year.
