“I want the minister to explain how the government is helping young people get jobs on major building projects.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, our economic future depends on the people building it. One of the greatest privileges of my role is getting to speak with young people across our country. I hear every day that they want to be involved, and they know they can be central to building Canada’s future. As we move forward with major infrastructure projects, can my good friend, the Minister of Jobs and Families, update the House on how our government is ensuring young Canadians are positioned to take advantage of these opportunities and help drive our ambitious economic agenda at a time when others just want to cut supports?

Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario

“Our plan gives 100,000 young people training, income, and paid work in the skilled trades. I am asking the opposition if they will support these opportunities or vote against them.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Mississauga Centre for being such a passionate advocate for youth across this country. We are really learning from his wisdom and expertise. Our team Canada strong plan is built on the voices of youth, and it includes providing 100,000 youth with training, income and paid work placements for those who want to join the skilled trades workforce. On this side of the House, we are focused on building up opportunities for youth, workers and the economy. Will the members on the other side stand with youth and workers, or are they going to vote against those opportunities?
