Mr. Speaker, I happen to agree with some of the things the parliamentary secretary said. The biggest problem is that the Liberals are not doing them. It was our party that proposed significant increases in investments in the skilled trades through union-based training. The government has consistently failed on that over the last 10 years.
Let me give members some numbers. The youth unemployment rate is 14.5%. We will get new numbers tomorrow on where it has been at for the last month. That is over 400,000 unemployed young people.
We are not going to subsidize our way out of this problem. What we need to do is address wealth-creation problems. What we heard at the human resources committee is that Liberal policies are blocking our energy sector and making investment in Canada so much more difficult. There is red tape, taxes and the failures on immigration policy. These things are holding our economy back. We need to fix the policy failures so we can unleash job growth for our young people.
