Mr. Speaker, it is fair to say that this government has done a lot to help people acquire the skills they need to find jobs.
Here are some of the programs we created: the apprenticeship completion grant, which the NDP voted against; the apprenticeship incentive grant, which the NDP voted against; and the apprenticeship job creation tax credit, which the NDP voted against.
In addition, this government has just created 50,000 more jobs, for a total of 950,000 net new jobs in Canada since the recession.
