Mr. Speaker, the pandemic has been very hard on everyone, but some segments of the population have been hit harder than others.
Women, young people and racialized people are more severely affected by this crisis. The progress women have made in the workforce has regressed. Unemployment among young people is approaching 20%. In some racialized communities, unemployment is over 30%.
How does the government plan to help these young people? How does the government plan to help our young people regain confidence and hope for the future?
