The Conservative Party of Canada is proposing a job training plan in response to a 14.7% youth unemployment rate, attributing the crisis to a broken immigration system.
- In September, youth unemployment in Canada reached 14.7%, marking a 15-year high outside the pandemic years, prompting urgent action from the Conservative Party of Canada.
- MP Garnett Genuis announced a plan in Ottawa aimed at improving job prospects for young workers, which he claims are hindered by the Liberal Party of Canadas immigration policies.
- The Conservative Party of Canada argues that the influx of new immigrants has flooded the job market, making it increasingly difficult for young Canadians to secure employment.
Why It Matters
This proposal highlights the urgent need to address youth unemployment in Canada, which could have long-term economic implications if young workers remain unable to find stable jobs. The debate also reflects growing concerns about immigrations impact on the labor market.
