“We are giving money to help young people train for skilled trades. This could lead to up to 100,000 jobs over the next five years. What does the member think about investing in Canadians this way?”
“Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if my colleague can provide his thoughts on the important Red Seal program we brought in. There are dozens of skilled trades with national recognition where a financial incentive is being provided for individuals, I am thinking specifically for young Canadians, to be able to enter into dozens of skilled trades. With the government providing that incentive, we are looking at somewhere in the neighbourhood of 80,000 to 100,000 potential trade jobs over the next five years. Can the member provide his thoughts on why it is so important that we invest in Canadians?”
