Employment

Question period focused on employment and the job market. Conservatives cited Statistics Canada figures showing a roughly 29-year low in workforce participation, 110,000 jobs lost over two months, and the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7, arguing young Canadians are hit hardest and asking the government to change course, including reversing two laws affecting the resource industry, and noting a committee had made 16 recommendations on youth employment. Liberals pointed to 160,000 jobs created this year, a $430-million investment in union-led training, announced projects such as Churchill Falls and Gull Island that they said would create thousands of jobs, and argued members had not acknowledged the impact of American tariffs and the trade war on the economy. One Liberal response also referenced programs supporting youth employment.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
