Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate on youth unemployment. Garnett Genuis of the Conservatives said young people are struggling to find work and afford homes, argued that government policies are contributing to the problem, and asked the government to adopt Conservative proposals, including more flexible parental leave and restoring grants for trade school students. Tom Osborne, the parliamentary secretary, replied that the government is funding worker training, including grants for apprentices and employers in the skilled trades, along with summer jobs and training programs for students, and said it is open to good ideas. He also pointed to measures such as cheaper child care, tax cuts, and help for first-time homebuyers, noting that Conservatives voted against some of these. Genuis replied that the government was not addressing his question and repeated the point about grants for trades students.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
