Mr. Speaker, our government today is delivering on a promise. The Right Hon. Prime Minister and the Minister of Employment and Social Development are announcing support for 3,000 new Canadian internship opportunities. These paid internships will help post-secondary graduates get the skills and experience needed to find jobs in high-demand fields such as science, technology, and skilled trades.
Since 2006, our government's youth employment strategy has helped more than half a million young Canadians develop the skills they need to secure jobs and help our economy grow.
