Mr. Speaker, unemployment has surged to its highest level in a decade. Young people are being hit the hardest. One in six cannot find work. Our economy is facing a recession and millions of Canadians are worried about their jobs, yet the Liberals are planning to slash services people rely on and eliminate family sustaining jobs through an austerity budget this fall.
Will the government reverse course and create much-needed jobs through bold initiatives, such as a youth climate corps, as New Democrats have proposed?
