Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government's insistence on imposing new rules for the Canada job grant, despite provincial opposition, might hurt Quebec.
Youth employment centres, which help young people 16 to 35 years old develop their employability, could lose their funding.

Can the minister guarantee that the reform he is trying to impose will help reduce the youth unemployment rate?
