Finance
Question period focused on the government’s latest economic update, particularly the size of the federal deficit. The Conservative leader said the Prime Minister had doubled the previous deficit to $65 billion, that debt interest would cost families thousands of dollars, and repeatedly asked whether the government would stop spending and admit its economic choices were hurting Canadians. The Prime Minister replied that half the measures in the update were aimed at affordability, that the deficit had been reduced by $11 billion and debt lowered despite tariff and trade pressures, and pointed to savings, lower gas prices, grocery benefit cheques, and co-operation with provinces on energy and nuclear power. The exchange also featured repeated comparisons to Justin Trudeau’s record from the Conservative side and references to each side’s past positions and votes.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
