Scott Brison: Brison held a news conference in Ottawa Wednesday to talk about how a weak labour market is not only hurting youth, but their parents, who are dipping into their savings and retirement funds to help their struggling children, according to CBC. "Who is picking up the tab? It's middle-class Canadian parents and in many cases grandparents who are stepping up to financially support their adult children," he said and The federal government must do more to create jobs and meaningful work experience for youth who are being left out of the economic recovery, says Liberal MP Scott Brison. Brison said tuition, food, transit, rent and other costs have all been going up while student debt levels remain constant. The average post-secondary graduate carries $28,000 in student debt.
