Mr. Speaker, young people across the country are unemployed. The youth unemployment rate is twice the national average.
Meanwhile, the Conservative government has no trouble spending money on partisan ads, and it is neglecting hiring programs for youth. It is now May and $30 million of the funding for this program is just sitting there. That is 20% of the funding for this program that is not being used.
What are this Conservative government's priorities? Why does it not want to help our young people find jobs?
