“Our government plans to help up to 100,000 people become skilled tradespeople, which is great for young people. Conservatives say they support young people, but they always vote against our help. I want to know if the Conservatives support this trades program.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, it is disappointing that the Conservative Party of Canada does not recognize fantastic programs that have been a part of Canadian society for many years. I am talking about the Red Seal program. Under the Red Seal program, this government and this Prime Minister have made a commitment that we are going to see anywhere from 80,000 to 100,000 new skilled professional Red Seal recipients. This is good news, in particular for young people. On the one hand, the Conservative Party says that we need to do things for young people. When we do things for young people, the Conservative Party consistently votes against it. Does the Conservative Party of today, the far-right Conservative, support the Red Seal program?
