Thank you Mr. Speaker. Today I will have some questions for the Minister responsible for Human Resources with respect to summer students. Summer students are our next generation. They face many challenges. Endless hours of homework, daily living costs, those are just a few to mention. At the very least, what our government should be doing is meeting them halfway to ensure we are behind them 110 per cent during their summer endeavours to seek income, so they can fly back to their respective apartments and school designation to continue their curriculum. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
