Mr. Speaker, because of the strength of our economy, some sectors are outpacing their ability to find workers. That is why we have made the largest investment in training for workers in Canadian history. Moving forward, we absolutely have a plan to address these labour shortages by welcoming talented workers to Canada: $10-a-day child care that will allow parents to return to work; support for training and youth programs; keeping experienced workers in the workforce; boosting the participation of diverse Canadians; and addressing the specific needs of evolving sectors. We are on it.

Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the member for Windsor—Tecumseh on his return to the House and for his unwavering support and advocacy for persons with disabilities. No other government has done more for persons with disabilities, but we have much more work to do. In the spirit of “nothing without us”, we are building on the steps we have taken since 2015, including the historic Accessible Canada Act, our ongoing work to establish our first-ever disability inclusion action plan and the new Canada disability benefit. I encourage all members to participate in discussions and learn more about the important contributions of persons with disabilities in all our communities, and not just on December 3 but every day.
