Mr. Speaker, there is a lot there, but I want to particularly zero in on one thing the member said, which is that he thinks things are generally going well.
Fourteen-plus per cent youth unemployment is not things going well. Those are recession levels. This summer, one in five returning students, roughly, was not able to find a job. These are students who rely on the income they earn in the summer to be able to pay for their continuing education. These critical milestones in their life that they are preparing for, which they are trying to get to through work, are being blocked in a large number of cases because of economic failures, a poorly tailored immigration system and a training system that is going to get worse under the government because of a plan to attack students pursuing particular professions.
Would the member be willing to acknowledge that that is a bad number for youth unemployment?
