Conservatives demand immigration and training reforms to tackle the youth unemployment crisis

Garnett Genuis, Conservative Shadow Minister for Employment, has criticized the Liberal Government’s latest youth employment announcement as a repackaging of old commitments that fail to address rising job losses. Highlighting that Canada recently lost over 50,000 youth jobs, the Conservatives are proposing a Youth Jobs Plan centred on aligning immigration with housing and labour market realities. The plan advocates for fixing foreign credential recognition and adjusting student financial aid to prioritize in-demand vocational fields. Additionally, the proposal includes a 100% capital cost write-off for companies building workforce housing to help young Canadians find affordable accommodation near emerging employment opportunities.
