Finance
In question period on finance, Conservatives criticized the government’s economic update, saying the Prime Minister is borrowing roughly $25 billion for a new investment fund rather than building one from surpluses, and that the deficit has doubled from about $31 billion to $65 billion a year. They also raised a $37-billion increase in spending, rising debt projections, food price increases, and said Quebec was not consulted before a new trades training program was announced. Liberals replied that Canada has strong growth and fiscal standing in the G7, that spending on trades training for over 100,000 young people, major building projects, and help for workers affected by the trade war will grow the economy, that the IMF supports the plan, and that government operating costs are being reduced. They asked the opposition to support the plan.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
