Finance
Question period focused on federal finances, ahead of an expected statement from the finance minister. Conservative members said the government is spending and borrowing too much, citing a doubled national debt and deficit, rising operating costs, high grocery, housing and debt burdens, youth unemployment, food bank use, unresolved US tariffs affecting manufacturers, and spending on connected firms; several asked the government to commit to keeping the deficit under $31 billion. Liberal members said the government is spending less in some areas to invest in major projects such as LNG, transit, critical minerals and the auto sector, pointing to G7-leading growth and fiscal standings, wages growing faster than inflation, tax cuts, and programs like dental care, and pledged continued support for workers affected by tariffs. Some answers also listed regional projects, including in Saskatchewan.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
