Liberal on Youth 2026-05-07

Replying to Vincent Ho (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, after a decade of costly Liberal credit card budgeting, young Canadians are facing more costs, more taxes, more debt, more on the national credit card, and more of the same. The Prime Minister is just another costly Liberal who has surged youth unemployment beyond recessionary levels. Since 2022, youth unemployment has surged from 12.3% to 18.9%, and young Canadians are remaining unemployed longer than at any point since records began in 1976. Liberal labour and immigration policies are driving up the cost of rent, groceries and homes for young Canadians. When will the Liberal Prime Minister end his costly credit card budgeting, so young Canadians can afford to eat, work and live?”
