“Our plan will create up to 100,000 skilled jobs for young people. We are funding projects across the country to recruit, train, and hire them.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, we outlined the second part of our plan in our spring economic update. Our plan is to build Canada strong with 80,000 to 100,000 new skilled worker jobs. These jobs will go to young people in this country. We recognize that young people need good employment. That is why we are announcing so many different projects throughout this country. That is why we have a plan to recruit them, train them and hire them.
