Liberal on Youth 2026-05-08

86 words · 4 sentences · 6 clauses

Replying to Michael Guglielmin (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, Canada lost 18,000 jobs in April. The unemployment rate is now 6.9%. Youth unemployment jumped to 14.3%. Young Canadians are unemployed longer than at any time since 1976. Instead of results, these Liberals have given us more job losses and more of the same. The Prime Minister told Canadians they must prepare for sacrifices, while young Canadians are already sacrificing jobs, opportunities and their futures. How much longer will the Liberal government force young people to sacrifice for its failures?”
