Election 2011: Employment and Education Initiative for Youth
“Surely all the parties can agree that providing employment and education for youth need to be a priority. Recessions hit youth the hardest. They are continually caught in a cycle of not yet having the skills or experience to be competitive but not being able to gain these skills and experience without a job. It is a critical phase of their lives and it is a worthwhile investment to create a generation that is fully participating and contributing both economically and socially.”
- Green Party of Canada Leader Elizabeth May
To kick off the 41st federal election, the Green Party is proposing an important idea or initiative that they believe all parties can find common ground on for every day of the first week of the campaign. The first big proposal is to create nation-wide employment and education initiative for youth.
