Students are graduating with big debt and little hope of jobs continued from p.12 we are going to waive EI premiums for a year for businesses that provide permanent full-time work for young people." Damoff said a Liberal government would invest in creating jobs for the future, such as renewable energy and clean energy jobs. Best noted under the Harper government, 400,000 "good-paying" jobs have been lost, which has left graduates saddled with debt and working in part-time employment or contract employment without benefits. She said the NDP is committed to creating "good jobs" by introducing an innovation tax credit for businesses that invest in machinery, equipment, and property used in research and development. The plan would save Canadian manufacturers making these investments $40 million per year, she said. Best said the NDP would also cut the small business tax from 11 to nine per cent, which she says would allow businesses to hire more people. Young changed the subject, stating one of the biggest problems Canada's youths have is drugs. The move provoked a groan from the crowd and shouts from one audience member. Young went on to state he had recently been to a candlelight vigil in Oakville where young people remembered friends who had died as the result of drug overdoses. The Conservative candidate said there are a number of drugs present in this community, including marijuana. He then condemned Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau's call for marijuana's legalization. Oliver called the subject change a distraction. Oliver said a Liberal government would spend $1.3 billion over three years to create jobs for young Canadians. These actions, he said, would see 40,000 new jobs created per year for the first three years. Marville said the government is not paying attention to the reality that many young people are graduating from university with $28,000 in debt and can only find part-time jobs. She said the NDP would invest $100 million over three years to create youth employment. This would yield 40,000 apprenticeship jobs and 76,000 grants for young people. Clement tweeted government needs to stop artificially driving wages up and eliminate red tape so business can hire students.
