Ms. Fiona Dunne:

I wish to make a point about JobBridge. I will not reiterate Mr. O'Connor's comments, but internships should be about real learning opportunities and outcomes for the individual. Importantly, they should not replace or displace jobs. This is a matter of providing access for young people who will not have the opportunity to gain experience in the workplace, to learn what the world of work is like, etc.

One of our documents discusses how there used to be more apprenticeships many years ago, for example, Safe Pass. Many of those apprenticeships could be reintroduced by growing the tourism and hospitality sector of the domestic economy. They would not necessarily need to last as long as four years - they could be shorter. I am referring to restaurants, the hotel trade and so on, which want a higher level of customer service. It all ties in.
