departments agencies: A further 22,027 started the application process, but had yet to finish it before Friday deadline, according to CTV. While only 30 will eventually be council to the prime minister, four-fifths of applicants said they were willing to share their thoughts with federal departments and agencies as part of a government push to create similar boards for other ministries. As of Friday morning, there were 9,929 applicants to be on Trudeau youth council, according to data provided to The Canadian Press. It at once a shrewd political and policy development move for the government, says David Coletto of Abacus Research, who has conducted research on the views of young voters during last year election. On policy development, Coletto says it a way for departments to bounce ideas off a focus group of interested Canadians, rather than passively posting a survey online and hoping people fill it out. Political, he says, because it a way for the Liberals to keep the young voters they won over in the last election in the fold for the next trip to the ballot box in 2019.
