Adjournment Proceedings
An adjournment debate on affordability, following up on a question about government spending and the cost of living. Jonathan Rowe of the Conservatives argued that government spending has driven inflation, interest rates and rents higher, and proposed a 25-cent cut to the diesel tax paid for with oil and gas revenues. Parliamentary Secretary Jennifer McKelvie responded that the government is focused on making life more affordable, citing a fuel tax pause until Labour Day, lower pension plan costs, a longer repayment period for homebuyers’ retirement savings withdrawals, and a new Canada groceries and essentials benefit providing tax credits to over 12 million Canadians. The exchange continued along these same lines for the remainder of the debate.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
