“Young people are the future of Canada. What is our government doing in the spring budget update to help them stay active and build careers?”

“Mr. Speaker, we know young people are the foundation of Canada’s future. Can the Secretary of State for Labour tell the House what our government is doing through the spring economic update to invest in the next generation, ensuring they have both the opportunities to stay active and the pathway to build meaningful careers across this country?”

“Our budget plan invests in young people. We are spending $6 billion to help 100,000 Canadians train for skilled trades. We are also spending more money on youth sports than ever before so kids can stay active.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for all of his hard work on behalf of his constituents in Nova Scotia. He is an excellent member. Our spring economic update is investing in the next generation. We are creating paid pathways for 100,000 Canadians to get into the skilled trades with a $6-billion investment, helping young people build good careers right here at home, and we are making the largest investment in sport in Canadian history so kids have the ability, across this country, to stay active and thrive. These are some of the things we are doing to support Canadian youth and to build Canada strong for all.”
