Youth

During oral questions on youth, Conservative member Gabriel Hardy said government deficits and spending are hurting young people, citing rising youth unemployment and high living costs, and pointed to a Fraser Institute report and the $41 million spent by the Major Projects Office without projects underway. He asked the government to focus on young people’s future and stop overspending. Liberal ministers Joël Lightbound and Steven MacKinnon responded that the fall economic update includes $6 billion over five years for training young people for skilled trades such as construction, and said the Conservatives oppose major projects like high-speed rail, aircraft manufacturing, and port expansion that would create jobs.Written by AI from the debate.
