This petition is protesting the EXTREME cuts to the federal funding for Canadian student summer jobs. The Prime Minister claims that he wants students to get jobs that relate to their future careers, but yet he has cut funding for programs like WISE (Women in science and engineering) at MUN, and jobs at the Archiological Site in Ferryland. This only names TWO programs of the many that have received NO FUNDING from the Canadian government. Please sign and show your support for all canadian students!
The stories students are sending me about losing their summer roles are heartbreaking. I am currently compiling these accounts to deliver directly to the ministry.

Total incompetence. They want us to get experience but then cut the programs that actually provide it. Makes no sense.

How are students supposed to get actual experience if the funding for these programs just disappears? This is so frustrating.

The science programs were the only reason I got into my field. Dont punish the students for government budget issues.

Ridiculous. Ferryland is a huge part of our history and the students need that work to pay for tuition. Keep the funding.
