Mr. Speaker, higher unemployment for young people is not good news.
Yesterday, I met with the elbows up for climate coalition, a national group of mayors calling for federal investments to prevent and mitigate the ravages of climate change. They explained the real cost of failing to do so, from catastrophic destruction in such places as Jasper to the high cost of food because of crop failure and drought. Folks cannot get insurance, and they need help to retrofit their homes.
Will the government help their communities, take action on the climate and put young people to work through the NDP's Youth Climate Corps?
