That leads to workers having confidence that government understands what is needed in order to actually create good jobs in Canada. Workers are feeling under attack in every single sector of our economy. Certainly, in the trade-affected sectors people are feeling under attack. We see youth unemployment rates getting significantly higher. We see the value of entry-level jobs being pared down time and time again to temporary jobs, term positions and part-time jobs, rather than full-time jobs that lead to being able to actually buy a house, pay a mortgage, rent a place and put food on the table.
Workers are feeling very stressed in every single sector of our economy. Having strong labour protections in CUSMA shows what we actually want for workers. This is good family- and community-sustaining jobs and an actual pathway to achieve that. When we talk about smaller communities that are facing sky-high unemployment already in the Windsor area, in particular, we need to be able to offer those workers a future, a plan and a pathway to good employment. That also means having an industrial strategy that connects all of the different kinds of components that lead to these nation-building projects and being able to source Canadian content that workers work on. That starts with strong bargaining units and strong collective agreements.
