Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary is completely wrong about the figures. He says that the youth unemployment rate is moving in a good direction, but actually in the previous month it was 12.8%. In the latest numbers we have up until today, it was 13.3%. There is an increase in the youth unemployment rate, which we have seen in the month-over-month numbers, and it is quite a significant increase.
There are also the absolute levels. Overall, these are recession levels of youth unemployment. Young people are experiencing unemployment in larger numbers than we have generally seen in the past. Under the Prime Minister, we hit the worst youth employment rate in over 25 years.
Fundamentally, all the parliamentary secretary has to offer are inaccurate talking points, and he did not really answer the question I asked, which was why there were cuts for students attending career colleges. Why is he attacking students attending career colleges?
