HoC Sitting No 14 Question

House of Commons Question Transcript: While speaking with families across #KitchenerCentre, I’ve heard the same worry again and again—from parents who are watching their teenagers struggle to find work. These aren’t just job searches; they’re moments of self-doubt, missed milestones, and fading confidence. Our young people are eager to contribute, to grow, to dream—but the opportunities just aren’t there.

Because they’re waiting for leadership. They need a clear, reliable budget from our government. A budget is more than a financial document; it’s a statement of priorities. And right now, our businesses need to know that they’re a priority. They need a plan they can believe in All opposition parties came together and voted in favor of seeing a budget proposed this spring. We reached across the aisle, we did our part—but we’re being ignored. We’ve asked for a budget because without one, there is no plan. And without a plan, families, businesses, and communities are left in uncertainty. It’s time to step up and deliver the roadmap we need to move forward.
