Replying to Jacob Mantle (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the government’s props and slogans are cold comfort to the young generation of Canadians, who are feeling its failures most acutely. The United Way’s report last week confirmed that food insecurity concerns are highest among young Canadians, income declines are most acute among young Canadians and fully 91% of the next generation feel personal financial anxiety. Add on top of that the highest unemployment rate in 35 years. When will the government stop selling out the next generation?”
