Mr. Speaker, our program for jobs is tax cuts, training and trade.
On tax cuts, we are reducing the small business tax rate from 11% to 9%. That will free up more money for small business owners to hire people in their community.
On training, we have given out 500,000 apprenticeship grants that prepares electricians, plumbers, carpenters and others for the high-paying, in-demand jobs of the future.
Free trade with Europe will create 80,000 net new jobs.
The NDP opposes all three of those steps.
