Patty Hajdu Liberal
“Our budget update adds over $6 billion for skilled trades. It creates up to 100,000 jobs for young workers, gives apprentices up to $16,000, and helps bosses hire them. I want to know if the Conservatives will vote against this help for workers.”
“Mr. Speaker, it was hard to tell if the question was over or not, but I want to thank that member of Parliament for his constant advocacy for investment in the skilled trades. Yesterday, in the spring economic update, we announced over $6 billion to mobilize skilled trades workers; up to 100,000 new opportunities for young workers across this country; a $16,000 income top-up for apprentices, which will help them get through that training pipeline; and support for employers to make sure they can hire those apprentices. This is good news for the skilled trades. The only question we have is, are the Conservatives going to vote against these workers, will they vote against Canadian workers?”
