Madam Speaker, I want to assure the member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan that we have an array of great programs supporting our boundless ambition to create a skilled workforce for the future. Youth are the drivers of future economic growth. By supporting 6,000 additional summer jobs for youth, we are equipping them with the skills and experience needed to thrive.
From April 21 to July 21, young job seekers between the ages of 15 and 30 could find summer job opportunities in their communities on the job bank website and mobile app. This important investment in Canada summer jobs means that more youth will benefit. When youth have the skills and experience they need to join the workforce, our communities and economy benefit. It is more than just an eight-week program. It allows them to have hands-on experience for today, tomorrow and the future.
