Finance

During Question Period on finance, the Conservatives asked about government spending ahead of the fall fiscal update, saying high spending and deficits are driving up costs for Canadians and interest rates, and pointing to items like the Alto high-speed rail project, consultants and the gun buyback program as cuts they would make. The Liberals said the Conservatives should table a list of cuts, and cited the International Monetary Fund’s view that Canada has the strongest fiscal situation in the G7, saying the government would use that capacity to fund building projects across the country.Written by AI from the debate.
