Thank you for that. It makes a ton of sense.
What I was actually referring to is the StatsCan data that shows that the real number of youth working is pretty much neutral, within 5,000 or 10,000, since this Parliament started sitting, which means that despite massive investments, the actual real number of jobs for young people hasn't increased at all. What has happened is that the participation rate or the number of youth seeking employment has actually gone down. That's what StatsCan shows on a monthly basis.
In fact, until July of this year, there were 40,000 fewer jobs for young people overall, despite huge investments in the summer jobs program and many other areas.
When we're looking at the trades and the co-ops, we see a lot of strong experiential learning opportunities there, no matter where you are in the country. Do we find that there is a higher rate for those who go directly into employment in the trades, or is it about on level with other sectors that youth are graduating from?
