Mr. Speaker, we are investing in young people.
We are investing in young people through the student work placement program, the youth employment and skills strategy and the Canada summer jobs.
The labour market today looks very different for young people than it did for past generations. New and emerging technologies, a rise in gig work, an aging workforce and globalization are profoundly changing the labour market and how the jobs of the future will look. Programs like the ones I just mentioned help young Canadians face those challenges. These programs are smart investments in our economy and in the next generation of leaders, because when young people get a strong start, all of Canada benefits.
