Liberal on Employment 2026-11-06

99 words · 9 sentences · 11 clauses

Replying to Chris Lewis (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, nearly one in five young people in Windsor-Essex who wants to work cannot find a job. That is thousands of youth being denied the opportunity to get ahead, buy a home and build a future for themselves. After 10 years of the Liberal government, youth unemployment in Windsor-Essex is higher than the national average of 13.7%. Young people are paying the price for a decade of failed Liberal budgets. Why does this Liberal budget have nothing for the youth in Windsor-Essex?”
