Madam Speaker, our focus needs to be on training Canadian young people for the jobs that exist here in Canada. The member talked about training in areas where there are shortages. This is exactly the issue. We have proposed, as part of our constructive Conservative youth jobs plan, to offer more generous grants to students studying for fields that are in demand.
The Liberals have gone the opposite direction. They have arbitrarily decided to cut grants for students who are studying at private vocational institutions. The effect of this, in certain regions of the country especially, is to make it very difficult, almost impossible, for students from low- and middle-income backgrounds who rely on student grants to be able to pursue studies in those fields.
We are proposing training for Canadian young people to fill Canadian jobs. The government is going in the opposite direction.
