“Nearly 500,000 young Canadians were out of work in 2025. That is a 57% jump in three years. The government made housing too expensive and made it harder for young people to find jobs. How does the government justify locking young people out of both housing and work?”

“Mr. Speaker, a shocking new report found that nearly 500,000 young Canadians were unemployed in 2025. That is a 57% increase in three years, and that is worse than the recessions of 1981, 1990 and 2008 for young people. The Liberals ran an over $1‑trillion debt, and they priced Canadians out of the housing market. We have the highest housing costs in the G7. They then loosened the foreign work restrictions and flooded the labour market. It has been a decade of their support, and somehow every single door is closed for young Canadians. How is the government locking young Canadians out of both the housing market and the labour market at the same time?”

“Young Canadians make up more than a quarter of all unemployed workers, and they cannot afford food or homes. The government's spending and high immigration hurt young people. I want the government to take responsibility for this.”

“Mr. Speaker, despite all of the rhetoric and despite the trillion dollars in Liberal debt, young Canadians now make up over a quarter of all unemployed workers. That is double their share of the workforce. They still cannot afford a home; they still cannot afford groceries, and they still cannot afford to get ahead. The Liberals have record borrowing, with billions on the national credit card, to stimulate the same economy they are cooling with record immigration, and they handed the bill to Canadians for all of it. At what point does any Liberal take responsibility for an entire generation that is priced out, crowded out and left holding the bag for their incompetence?”

“Youth unemployment is almost 19 percent, and young Canadians cannot find good jobs. I want the Prime Minister to stop overspending so young people can afford to live and get ahead.”

“Mr. Speaker, young Canadians are working hard, getting an education and trying to build a future. However, after 11 years of costly Liberal policies, they are still struggling to find good jobs. The Fraser Institute reports youth unemployment has surged to almost 19%, with young Canadians unemployed longer than at any other point since the records began. When will the Prime Minister stop being just another costly Liberal and end his credit card budgeting so young people in Oshawa and across Canada can afford to work, eat and get ahead?”

“The government's support programs do not work, and young people are worse off than before. The government caused this problem with higher taxes, higher costs, and more debt. I want to know why young Canadians have to pay for the government's failures.”

“Mr. Speaker, when will the Liberals realize that they keep having to create these support programs because they created the crisis in the first place? Even with these programs, young people are still worse off than ever before. Clearly, the programs do not work. Under the Prime Minister, Canadians are seeing the same old Liberal agenda we saw under Justin Trudeau, only worse. There are more costs, more taxes, more debt, more on the national credit card and more of the same. Why are Liberals forcing young Canadians to pay the price for their failure?”

“The Prime Minister's spending and policies are hurting young Canadians. Youth unemployment has jumped from 12.3% to 18.9% since 2022, and the cost of rent, food, and housing is too high. I want to know when the Prime Minister will stop this spending so young people can afford to live.”

“Mr. Speaker, after a decade of costly Liberal credit card budgeting, young Canadians are facing more costs, more taxes, more debt, more on the national credit card, and more of the same. The Prime Minister is just another costly Liberal who has surged youth unemployment beyond recessionary levels. Since 2022, youth unemployment has surged from 12.3% to 18.9%, and young Canadians are remaining unemployed longer than at any point since records began in 1976. Liberal labour and immigration policies are driving up the cost of rent, groceries and homes for young Canadians. When will the Liberal Prime Minister end his costly credit card budgeting, so young Canadians can afford to eat, work and live?”

“The Liberal government's debt, high taxes, and bad immigration policies are hurting young people and young families. I want the government to change these policies so young people can find jobs.”

“Mr. Speaker, objectively, the Liberals’ so-called plan is simply not working. Conditions are extremely difficult in this country for youth and for young families. The Liberals’ trillion dollars of debt means less growth and fewer jobs, especially for people just starting out. Credit card budgeting, high taxes and poor immigration policy have all contributed. We see more costs, more taxes, more debt and more on the national credit card, more of the same. The Prime Minister is just another costly Liberal with no results to show for this waste. When will Liberals reverse policies that are objectively not working, so young people can get back to work?”

“The government has too much debt, and young families are struggling. We shared plans for youth jobs and better parental leave. Will the government support our ideas to help young people?”

“Mr. Speaker, the government has $1 trillion dollars in credit card debt, and the Liberals keep telling us that everything is fine. Everything is not fine. In the midst of this environment, Conservatives are offering constructive proposals to support youth and young families that are struggling. In the fall, we announced the Conservative youth jobs plan. Just today, we announced big, new ideas to reform parental leave to make it easier to start and grow a family. Instead of doubling down on more of the same failure, will the Liberals must listen to and support the big ideas that we are putting forward to help young people and families finally succeed?”
