“Jean Boulet was asked to comment on the fact that more and more youngsters between the ages of 11 and 14 are getting jobs. He said, in response to Liberal MNA Marwah Rizqy, that the situation was not “normal”…”
Maybe our current labour shortages also has to do with Bill 21 and 96 scaring away past, present and future immigrants? If this was such an “extremely important” issue that “worries him enormously”, perhaps this should’ve taken precedence over 96?

Meezly, you’ve got to understand, nothing is more important than preserving the French language in Quebec, and that includes employment conditions as well as the environment, health care and everything else.

My dad is 75 years old. Today, he was offered a job at a shoe store he was at as a customer. The labour shortage is definitely pinching the retail sector.
