1155 Laura WaynePrograms like the CIDA internships are part of what make me so proud to be a Canadian. These internships play a huge role in facilitating entry into the world of International Development. I think it would be a tremendous loss to cut a program that gives the leaders of tomorrow such a valuable opportunity to learn and develop.

1164 Eva ColmersI am a documentary filmmaker with great respect for the work done by CIDA. To take in new, enthusiastic young people is crucial and essential to the growth of any organization - particularly CIDA. This is a professional field without huge money compensation but lots of dedication. Internships are an important entry point and will secure future growth of CIDA. I strongly urge the government to continue this iInternship program as it is essential to the growth of CIDA and of Canada as a nation which reaches out ot help others.

1173 Colleen TurloThe CIDA IYIP is a rare and amazing opportunity that has the potential to help me get field experience in a very difficult discipline. After 4 years of undergrad and 2 in graduate studies, student debt leaves me no option but to work outside my field, as I have no additional non-academic experience. So, even after paying for 6 years of education, prospects of working in the field I have spent so much money are grim due to a lack of subsidized opportunities to strengthen hands-on-experience. The CIDA IYIP would have been a great opportunity to ensure that the ability to experiences are not based on financial stability (as many require non-paid positions or volunteering initially), but on merit and talent, and the government is one of the few organizations that can provide such amazing experiences. It would be a shame to see this program go, as many people and communities are beginning to truly reap the benefits of it.

1180 AnonymousThis just demonstrates the Conservatives efforts to ensure that only the rich can afford to participate in any programs that allow one to advance in their lives/ professions and careers.
