Youth

During question period, members asked about youth employment. Conservatives pointed to a youth unemployment rate of 14.3 percent, 18,000 jobs lost in April, and young people struggling to afford rent, food, and books, and asked how long the government’s approach would continue. Government members said the budget invests in housing, infrastructure, and transit to create jobs, and announced investments in training, including a plan to train 100,000 skilled trades workers by 2030, and asked whether the opposition would identify budget projects it would cut.Written by AI from the debate.
