Mr. Speaker, the comments of the parliamentary secretary, in particular on skilled trades, are completely disconnected from the provisions in the budget that her government just put forward. She said some nice things about the skilled trades in her comments, and I agree with the nice things she said about the skilled trades. However, I am trying to square her professions of connection there with the fact that the government has broken its promise on the apprenticeship incentive grant and that it is cutting off student support to students who are studying at private career colleges.
I hope in this follow-up that I can get just a very direct answer from the parliamentary secretary. If she is sincere in the professions she has made about respecting and valuing skilled trade workers, could she explain very clearly why she supports a budget that broke the Liberals' promise on the apprenticeship incentive grant and that withdraws funding from students studying at career colleges?
