Mr. Speaker, young Canadians are losing hope and the reality is that, with record high youth unemployment, we risk losing a generation of potential in Canada.
We have Maclean's magazine referring to young Canadians as the new underclass. Today we have a report from TD Economics saying there are going to be massive economic and social costs long term, due to our high youth unemployment.
The government has not responded. It is ignoring this problem. When will the government recognize that we have a youth unemployment crisis in Canada, and when will it take action to ensure that young Canadians get the training and jobs of today and tomorrow?
