Madam Speaker, I do not know about the timing of this, but it is certainly such an important topic. I think about young people and youth unemployment, and in rural coastal British Columbia, it is a real issue. We have seen immigration changes, and I am glad the member talked about immigration, because right now the model for higher learning institutions in this country means that, for these institutions to be able to survive, they have to go out to attract foreign students to be able to supplement their revenue. Now the federal government has made significant changes that have left higher learning institutions in absolute chaos on how to operate, and they are cutting programs for skills training, apprenticeship and education.
Does my colleague not agree that the federal government needs to step forward and help support that revenue? My son was rejected from an apprenticeship program and told it was going to be a three-year wait-list to do refrigeration, when there is a demand for people to deliver refrigeration. Maybe the member can talk about how the federal government can play a significant role in fixing the mess it has created.
