Employment

During question period on employment, Conservative member Andrew Lawton described a constituent, a 25-year-old mother from Aylmer who had applied to over 500 jobs without success, and said families cannot afford the government and are at risk of losing their homes. He asked whether the Liberals would acknowledge this situation as the new normal. Employment Minister Patty Hajdu replied that the government is working to give every Canadian a pathway into good jobs and the skills to fill them, said jobs are available, and offered to contact the constituent directly about available programs and opportunities.Written by AI from the debate.
