Thank you for that very important question.
I'm going to have to switch to English. I used slightly simpler sentences in French, but trust is very important.
Safety is also important. Our strategy focuses on trust, opportunity and sovereignty.
It makes sure, first and foremost, that we are investing in young people. As I said, we are creating a national AI literacy program. Every single Canadian will have access to literacy. We will be providing every young person and post-secondary student with a reliable, safe AI tool they can use, so they have access to these tools. That's very important.
Third, we're going to be creating jobs. Working with Canada summer jobs and Mitacs, we will be supporting 90,000 job placements so young people have paid job experiences in the workforce and skills for the economy of the future. In the same way—per the spring economic update—we are training 100,000 skilled workers in Red Seal trades. This way, in the technological and the digital economy, we are training 90,000.
You asked specifically about deepfakes and trust. I am very proud that we just tabled legislation today on protecting privacy and consumer data. One of the elements of that would give citizens the right to combat deepfakes. It's about having a right to deletion. If there is something posted that they don't want up, they can demand that it be deleted or taken down. This is a very important step that works hand in hand with the legislation we tabled last week on safe social media. That's absolutely important.
Again, there are other ways we are investing in young people, like CanCode for young people. I know the honourable member has some young kids. I have kids. It's about skills training from K to 12. Mine are a little older, but not yours. They will benefit from that CanCode training. We are investing in skills, in literacy and in giving them power with a right to deletion, and we're protecting them from the harms of social media with our safe social media act, restricting access to kids under 16.
