A Job Creation official will present to the Minis- applicaticns for consider- atim which the

criteria of, the program. The final decision rests with the Minister for

Mr. Wood said, "The distributim of funds is based on youth (18-24) labour and - unenployrrent data from the Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey. 'Ihis amotmt is'bas'icffor every cmStituency, and is small carpared to most areas. In Malpeque, we can be thankful for the food processing and tourism industries which result in

almost full enploynent for 1

our young people in the surrmer nmths."
