“Parents need good jobs so they can provide for their families. Young people cannot even find entry-level jobs like fast food anymore because businesses hire temporary foreign workers instead. I want the member to comment on this issue.”
“Mr. Speaker, parents want the ability to provide for their families. Yes, it is great to have school lunch programs, but the real issue is having good jobs. It is becoming more and more difficult to have a good job. Beyond that, having any job is difficult. I talk to young people, and they are having challenges getting work, even in fast food industries. Last week, I talked to one young lady in her early twenties. McDonald’s and other places used to be the place for young people to get experience and get a job, but they cannot find one because of temporary foreign workers in places where there are many people looking for jobs. I wonder if the member could comment on that.”
