“Our budget supports skilled trades training for young people who want jobs like welding or plumbing. The Conservatives do not support this. I want them to change their minds and back our young people.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, there is a lot of good news in the spring economic update, which is something we should all be talking a lot about. One of the biggest initiatives the Conservative Party is really offside about, and talk about being insensitive, concerns the young people of Canada, the youth who want to get the jobs of the future. Within the spring economic budget, we are building up the Red Seal program. Members can think of those who want to be a welder, plumber, machinist or pipefitter. There are so many professions out there to support our young people through the Red Seal program. The government is supporting the Red Seal program. The Conservatives, on the other hand, say, “No, get out of the way.” They do not care about the young people of Canada. The Conservatives need to flip-flop their position, get onside and support our young people.
