Mr. Speaker, over 71,000 Canadians lost their full-time jobs just last month. We now have 600,000 fewer full-time jobs than in August of 2008.
Doug Porter of BMO said that “losses of this magnitude are extremely rare, aside from recessionary periods”.
Scotiabank said, “The magnitude and breadth of the decline is disconcerting here”.
This is a jobless recovery and a human recession. When will the Conservatives invest in a real plan to create jobs and help Canadians get back to work?
