“Our spring economic plan invests $6 billion to train and hire up to 100,000 skilled trades workers across Canada. This will create jobs and help build our economy.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Les Pays-d’en-Haut for his question. Our spring economic update is about taking responsible action today while investing in the future for young people. We are investing $6 billion to recruit, train and hire up to 100,000 skilled trades workers across Canada. This includes thousands of jobs in Quebec, such as in Contrecoeur and the Matawinie region. We are building the strongest economy in the G7 with our domestic workforce.
