Mr. Speaker, it is with heavy heart that I would like for the House to send cond olences to the family of Kamala Smith, who has r ecently lost her battle with cancer.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you, Minister, for your brief. Mr. Speaker, I would like to say that the rest of the legislation today will go this way. But I cannot see into the future. So as far as I understand, the co nsequential amendments in there are just technical amendments. And we fully support them. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, we recognise that these clauses are technical in nature, and we understand why this is being done. It is looking to streamline a process by taking it from the Minister and moving it over to the Pension Commission. And we fully support these amendments.

On the next page it states, “Several former programme participants have secured full-time employment with the very employers with which they were placed while participating in the programme.” Once again I ask, are there any statistics to show us exactly how many of these students were placed?

Supplementary, Madam Deputy Speaker. The Department of Workforce Development has traditionally focused on technical expertise and putting advice out there for technical professions.

Just a supplementary. As the Minister correctly pointed out, it states that 15 participating companies are offering non- paid summer internship for high school students. But the question is, How many positions does that translate into, exactly.
