Mr. Speaker, young people will build our future. We need them to. We do not have an option. Our country will be relying on them, so it is critical that they have the supports they need.
I say to young Canadians that their voice matters and they are valued. I encourage them to be clear and organized about their priorities and to become leaders in areas they are passionate about.
The young generation brings a refreshing perspective to politics. I am happy that today we are joined by members of the Young Politicians of Canada, which plays an important role in shaping youth-centred policy around the world.
The House of Commons represents all Canadians. That means it needs to represent young people and the problems they face, whether that is working toward home ownership, addressing climate change, supporting higher education or navigating how AI will affect our world. These are concerns that are critical to address if we want to see our new generation thrive.
