Shelby Kramp-Neuman Conservative
“Unemployment is up, youth unemployment is high, and 50,000 private sector jobs were lost last month. At the same time, the government plans to run deficits over $50 billion every year for five years. When will it show a real plan to create jobs and get the country's finances under control?”
“Mr. Speaker, the government keeps talking about its ambitions, but today’s jobs report from Statistics Canada tells a very different story. Unemployment is up 6.7%, youth unemployment has jumped to 13.7% and 50,000 private sector jobs have vanished in just one month. Meanwhile, the government is projecting five more years of massive deficits, exceeding $50 billion annually, along with mounting debt servicing costs. When will the government stop making promises and deliver a credible plan to create jobs and put Canadian finances back on a sustainable footing?”
