Mr. Speaker, when we invest in the skills and experience of youth today, we create a stronger, more competitive workforce and drive long-term prosperity for the future. The federal government is creating thousands of jobs for young Canadians and will create thousands more.
We are well aware that our economic future depends on the success of the work we do today as government. We have programs like Canada summer jobs, the youth employment and skills strategy program, and the student work placement program that are all helping young Canadians develop work-ready skills through hands-on experience and training. This will put youth on a path to meaningful careers.
These programs, combined with our new team Canada strong skilled trades initiative, will strengthen the workforce of tomorrow. The evidence could not be clearer. We are committed to creating jobs for our youth and seeing them launch into good, well-paying careers.
