Garnett Genuis Conservative
“The share of Canadians working is the lowest it has been in 29 years. I want the government to change the policies that are causing people to lose their jobs.”
“Madam Speaker, the government must answer for today’s devastating job numbers. Canada now has the lowest labour force participation in 29 years. A smaller percentage of Canadians are working today than at any point in the last 29 years. On the eve of Thanksgiving, we see that Canadians are not just losing jobs; many are losing hope. Canadians will judge the government by the results, so will the government finally reverse course on policies that are making Canadians poorer and depriving them of opportunity?”
