“Young people want good jobs. Our government is creating jobs through big building projects, and we are training up to 100,000 workers to help young people succeed.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am not exactly young anymore, but with all due respect, I am closer to being young than my colleague. What young people are telling me is that they want good jobs and opportunities for the future. That is what we are doing with an economy that is the second strongest in the G7 and with job creation through major projects, such as the Port of Montreal’s Contrecoeur expansion, the high-speed rail project that my colleague mentioned earlier, the container terminal project at the Port of Québec and the Nouveau Monde Graphite project. We are supporting those major projects through a workforce training program. Between 80,000 and 100,000 training spots will be offered to ensure that young people have good opportunities to build Canada.”
