 Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for being here, and thank you, Peter, for that kind introduction. I'd like to acknowledge Minister Mahaychuk, who you'll hear from shortly, and of course our Member of Parliament for right here in Davenport, Julie Tzerowitz. And a special thanks especially to Sheldon Taylor and the Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club for having us today. Thank you very much, Sheldon, and thank you all, kids. Today is a very special day for me and for our government. Today marks 100 days since we were sworn in, and as you all know, we've been busy. We were elected on the promise of bringing real change to Canada and to Canadians. Have we delivered? Well, you tell me. We followed through on one of our central campaign promises already. We cut taxes for the middle class by asking the wealthiest to pay a little more. This move puts more money into the pockets of everyday Canadians. The plan was grounded in the belief that all Canadians deserve a real and fair chance at success. Our government understands that a healthy economy starts with a strong and growing middle class, and cutting taxes is good for families, good for communities, and good for the country. I was also extremely proud to introduce our gender balanced cabinet to Canada and to the rest of the world. Why was that important to me? Well, because it's 2016. Minister Bennett, Haidu, and Wilson-Raybould are developing the framework that will be used by the investigation commission on women and young girls missing or murdered. This investigation commission is too late. The autochthon community requires answers and deserves justice to be made. We have proved leadership at a global scale, by welcoming tens of thousands of Syrian refugees in our communities over the past few months. All the governments have really worked together. Our prime ministers and our mothers shared our vision of a united and welcoming Canada. These new Canadians will enrich our communities even more. It is inspiring to see how individual Canadians and families are connected to support them. It has always been the strength of our country. Our government has also made important investments in innovative industries like regenerative medicine and clean water technologies. These critical investments will stimulate the economy and create the jobs of tomorrow today. As we know, innovation is key to building strong, resilient, forward-thinking communities. We can and must do more to help innovative firms that are working on new ideas and technologies. We're very proud to support Canadian industry and innovation as ways of growing the Canadian economy. And that's not all. Far from it, in fact. We've committed to reopening the Kitzelano Coast Guard base. We've restored the long-form census. We've introduced legislation to restore fairness and balance in the Canadian labour policy landscape. Friends, these are just a handful of our achievements after just 100 days in government. I'm very happy to announce today yet another example of the kind of real change we're bringing to Canadians. I am pleased here to be here this morning at the Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club to announce that our government is creating over 34,000 summer jobs for students this year. Through the Canada Summer Jobs Program, we're investing up to $113 million more to help more youth get invaluable work experience. This means that employers will be able to hire nearly 70,000 students. That's up from 34,000 students last year. Our government will continue to provide this funding for the next three years because the needs that our young people are facing in terms of unemployment, in terms of the need to develop work experience, the need to get good summer jobs is massive right now and will continue. The unemployment rate for young people is rising from the recession and too many young people can't get to work. Our government has been elected on the promise of responding right away to this problem and that's what we're doing. After years of neglect, young people can be assured that the Government of Canada is a friend and a partner for you in Ottawa. We want to help young people like you to find good jobs, to build a good career and succeed. It's so important that you can hear your voices to build and shape this country. The Canada Summer Jobs Program is great because it does a lot more than just giving jobs. It gives young people the opportunity to get to work in their communities. One of the things that I made a priority for me when I became Prime Minister but indeed throughout my time as an MP and even before was to engage young people. That's why when I became Prime Minister I turned to myself and told me that as Minister of Youth we needed to take seriously our responsibility to give young people the tools and the capacity to succeed. That means investing in our future, absolutely. But it also means investing right now in young people, not just as leaders of tomorrow but as leaders today. What we do by allowing 34,000 more young people to get better summer jobs is not just impacting on them and the experience that they're going to carry through through the rest of their schooling through the rest of their career to give them a strong head start and experience. It's also having a real positive impact on the community organizations and the communities that they'll be serving. Their hard work at making a difference in our local economies and our communities is going to have a significantly beneficial impact for all Canadians. That's what we have to understand about empowering young people is that yes, we're building a stronger future for them but we're also building a stronger present for everyone that they work for and touch with their experiences and their hard work. That's why investing in young people is so important to me and why our government is more focused than any other government in the history of Canada has been on building opportunities for youth and creating a stronger future. We know that summer jobs are critical for helping young people get the experience they need to start their careers to pay for their studies and to build self-reliance but with this announcement tens of thousands of young people can get started in moving up the career ladder and not only is this good for them it's good for the broader economy now and in the years to come. I'm very excited about today's investment. Great things happen when young people are given an opportunity to shine. I believe it because I've seen it. By investing in young Canadians we're investing in all of Canada we're investing in our present and we're investing in our future. It's now my great pleasure to introduce to you the Minister for Employment, Workforce Development and Labor and our MP for Kildonan St. Paul in Winnipeg the Honourable Marianne Mahajak.
