“This bill helps train up to 100,000 new skilled trades workers over the next five years. The Conservatives say they care about young people, but they are voting against this help. I want the member to explain why.”
“Madam Speaker, the Conservative Party has adopted a new-found “Get out of the way; I do not care” attitude. I reference the member’s opening comments, when he was talking about young people and doing things for youth. Within the spring update, there is a serious commitment to increase skilled trades Red Seal holders by between 80,000 and 100,000 over the next five years. The Conservative Party is actually voting against that particular project. I wonder how the member can justify it. Given his opening remarks regarding being there and supporting youth, why would the Conservative Party oppose a federal initiative to deal with Red Seal workers?”
