Question period on the government’s fall economic update and the cost of living. Conservative members said families are skipping meals and going into debt to buy food, that the deficit and debt have been doubled, and that continued spending is driving up costs, and asked the government to admit its policies are too expensive; one also raised spending on a software system. Liberal members said the deficit growth is investment in families, young people and seniors, pointed to a $750 million sports investment described as the largest in 20 years, and the Canada groceries and essentials benefit reaching households including those in one member’s riding, noting the Conservatives voted against a school food program. Liberals also said Canada has the strongest economy in the G7 and described spending on major projects and defence procurement as creating thousands of jobs.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
