Federal Jobs Guarantee

Asghar is championing a Federal Jobs Guarantee, which means that every young person aged between 18-35 who wants a job, can get one. A Federal Jobs Guarantee would bring hope to young Canadians faced with the reality of a parched job market.

A Federal Jobs Guarantee like the Youth Climate Corps initiative will create green jobs to fight the climate crisis. It is a solution to long-term wage starvation that young workers experience when they enter the workforce during a recession. Green jobs in the Youth Climate Corps include positions in wildfire management and urban restoration. Employees in this program would earn a living wage while contributing to meaningful, impactful work.

Not only would this be helpful to young Canadians, a Federal Jobs Guarantee is a solid response to the threat of U.S. tariffs. A Federal Jobs Guarantee is a great way to invest in and support local Canadian businesses while providing experience and training needed to continue expanding Canada’s business sector.
