Mr. Speaker, Canada's skilled labour shortage has reached over one million jobs vacant. The shortage of labour is costing our economy $30 billion and is driving inflation. The government is focused on growing government, adding 61,000 federal positions since 2015, but Canadian businesses cannot find home builders, factory workers and truckers. This is costing Canadians more in food, housing and goods as lack of employees further chokes the economy and spikes inflation. When will the government put as much energy into filling Canadian vacant jobs as it does into growing its own bloated government?
