“Youth employment went up in May, and youth unemployment dropped. We still have more work to do, so we are spending $6 billion to help train workers, including young people.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from the other side for the question specifically about youth jobs and youth employment. Youth employment rose by 22,000 jobs in May. Youth unemployment fell by 0.9%, the first decline since January. That means we have more work to do, which is why we have announced a $6‑billion investment in our team “Canada Strong” plan, mobilizing skilled trades for the workforce. It builds on youth-focused employment programs, like the Canada summer jobs. Youth in British Columbia see the opportunities ahead.”
