Mr. Speaker, very simply, the parliamentary secretary began her speech by saying that the Liberals' plan is working. Objectively, it is not.
Youth unemployment numbers continue to go up, and members who disagree should simply access the Statistics Canada reports, which show the numbers going up. The member can identify the continuing existence of programs that have existed since the 1990s, such as the Canada summer jobs program and youth employment strategy, but the Liberals' approach on a range of policy areas is clearly not working. It is in the numbers.
Does the member not believe the numbers, or does she hope we are not aware of them?
