Mr. Speaker, Reasoning · 3 words that is true. Claims · 22 words As I said at the start of my speech, nearly 14,000 people replied to my survey and nearly 11,000 people commented directly.1 Procedure · 4 words The message was clear: Procedure Claims · 8 words The cost of living is out of control. Reasoning · 73 words Young people need hope. They need to believe in their future. They need to know that if they work hard, they can succeed. We cannot lead them to believe that the only way to get ahead is to work for the government. Governments do not create wealth; they cost us money. We need entrepreneurs. We need ambitious young people. We need people who are willing to take risks, but who hope for success. Partly on point Procedure · 8 words That is the reality facing our young people. Procedure Unearned certainty Claims · 8 words Yes, I am hearing exactly the same thing, Reasoning · 17 words and it is high time we took meaningful action to help young people believe in their future.
