Mr. Speaker, Conservative budgets and all of their initiatives consistently fail Canadian youth. Of course we voted against it. Even if the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism is laughing, young people have been left out of the economic recovery. More than two years after the recession, youth unemployment is stuck at a troubling 14%. That is double the national average.
According to TD Bank:
Being unemployed at a young age can have a long-lasting impact on an individual's career prospects.
When will the Conservatives stop their self-congratulations and start offering real solutions for Canada's youth?
