Mr. Speaker, Conservatives simply do not understand the realities of today's urban economies and labour markets. Positions that only a few years ago would have been salaried permanent jobs are now being filled by contract workers, part-time workers, freelancers and unpaid interns.
Why do Conservatives think it is acceptable to do nothing while half the working population of Canada's largest cities is unable to find stable full-time work? Why are they failing urban economies and ignoring the struggles of urban workers?
