Replying to Jasraj Hallan (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, sending more students through trade schools without any jobs is creating certificates for unemployment. If the Liberals really want to invest in Canadians, the Liberal government can do one thing: just get out of the way. Let our natural resources get produced so we can create more jobs, create more boots on the ground, get shovels in the ground and get more projects built. That is what is going to help our youth, not more blocking of our resource projects. When will the Liberal government get out of the way and remove its anti-development laws so youth actually have a future in this country again?”
