“The impression that it gives us is that we are making various announcements to give the impression that we are acting, but without concrete results”, denounces Madwa-Nika Cadet, spokesperson for the official opposition in matters of job and work.
Worrying, unacceptable, incongruous: the Liberal MP for Bourassa-Sauvé did not mince words to qualify the affair revealed by Le Journal yesterday.
Remember that many graduates of the Program for requalification and support in information and communications technologies (PRATIC) claim not to find a job several months after their graduation.

Second case of its kind
