Mr. Speaker, what young people need is not easy access to employment insurance. What they need are placements in businesses, community work, useful experience they can put on a CV to help them get a job. This is a sensible job strategy. It is a strategy of providing opportunities for access to knowledge and education so that people can improve their future and raise a family. This is what young people need, this is what they have told us, and it is what we are giving them.
