Finance
Question period dealt with the government’s recent budget and spring economic update, with questions focused on deficits, debt and the cost of living. Conservative members said the government is running large deficits and piling up debt, that interest payments now cost more than health transfers, and that spending is driving up housing, grocery and tax costs; they asked when the government would rein in spending. Government members replied that the plan is fiscally responsible, pointing to a reduction in the deficit, investments in skilled trades training and apprentices, support for building affordable homes, and a nearly $1-billion investment in small craft harbours in Newfoundland and Labrador, citing union leaders who support the measures.Written by AI from the debate.
