Ottawa, October 10, 2023 -

The House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities is undertaking a study of the Canada Summer Jobs wage subsidy program, and ways it could be modified to improve funding and flexibility for applicants. The study follows a motion sponsored by Louise Chabot (Member of Parliament for Thérèse-De Blainville) and adopted by the Committee on Friday, June 2, 2023.

The Committee invites members of the public to submit written briefs no longer than 10 pages (approximately 4,000 words) for consideration in the study. For more information on how to prepare a submission, please consult the Guide for Submitting Briefs to House of Commons Committees.

The deadline for the Committee to receive written briefs from the public is Wednesday, October 25, 2023. Witnesses submitting briefs in only one official language should do so at least five working days before the deadline to allow time for translation. Briefs may be submitted electronically to the Committee Clerk at HUMA@parl.gc.ca or submitted online through the Committee's study page of its website.

Canadians are welcome to follow the Committee on its website, where additional information is provided on its meetings, including past testimony; its ongoing work; and its membership.
