“We want up to 100,000 new workers in the skilled trades over the next five years. I want the member to say more about how we can get more young people into these good jobs.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member made reference to the Red Seal program. It is a program that I believe has a great deal of support. To elevate that program by saying we want more young people to enter these dozens of trades, of skilled, good quality jobs, and that we want 80,000 to 100,000 new workers over the next five years, is a very powerful statement to young people and others. Could the member expand on that point?”
