Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Marit Stiles moved,

Marit Stiles a proposé,

Whereas youth unemployment in Ontario has reached over 17 per cent this year, indicating that too many young people in Ontario face barriers to securing employment; and
Whereas early work experience is critical for youth to build skills, gain confidence, and establish pathways to long-term employment and economic stability; and
Whereas young people experiencing prolonged joblessness often face mental health challenges, delayed financial independence and difficulty establishing career trajectories; and
Whereas municipalities, non-profits, and small businesses have the capacity to create meaningful summer jobs that support local priorities including social services, cultural activities, and environmental conservation initiatives when provided with sufficient funding and support;
Therefore, in the opinion of this House, the Government of Ontario should establish a comprehensive Youth Summer Jobs Program to ensure every young person under 30 who wants to work can access meaningful, paid employment or training opportunities in their community.

Debate arose and after some time,

Il s’élève un débat et après quelque temps,
