\u200bMinister Patty Hajdu called CCCC last evening to inform us of the rationale behind the attestation requirement of the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program.  We were given an opportunity to express our views.  The Minister then said she would take the information to her staff and see what to do. Today, we are pleased that the government has recognized the need to clarify the ambiguity of its attestation requirement for CSJ applicants by releasing Supplementary Information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, today\u2019s release fails to rectify the problems we have raised since the beginning. There has been no change to the attestation clause, which continues to create confusion over the government\u2019s position concerning \u201cCharter values\u201d and \u201cother rights\u201d.<\/p>\n

Even if many of our members, based on the government\u2019s definitions, believed they could sign the attestation, the basic problem still exists.  The attestation itself is flawed:<\/p>\n
