Garnett Genuis, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan
“Fewer Canadians are working now than at any point in almost 30 years. The government is ignoring this jobs crisis and pretending everything is fine.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canada has hit an alarming 29-year low in workforce participation. A smaller proportion of Canadians are in the workforce today than at any point in almost 30 years, but the Liberals shut down debate this morning on the unemployment crisis and continue to claim that everything is fine. How bad does workforce participation have to get before they notice: a 60-year low, a 100-year low?”
