Mr. Speaker, the fact is that we also have a real shortage of skills and talent in this country. That is what employers are telling us.
That is why we have invested so heavily in helping young people get the skills, the training and the experience they need for today's jobs and those of tomorrow. That is why we have invested in helping more than 50,000 students each year through the youth employment strategy. We are investing in career focus, skills link and the apprenticeship incentive and completion grants because we want to help these young people succeed.
Sadly, the real question is: Why did the Liberals oppose every one of those initiatives?
