Finance
During Question Period on finance, Conservative members said the government’s budget update means more debt, spending and taxes, pointing to food insecurity and the cost of debt interest, and asked the government to cut spending and balance the budget so groceries and housing become affordable. Liberal ministers replied by listing major projects they said are creating jobs across the country, programs such as the groceries and essentials benefit, the school lunch program and the gas tax pause that they said help with living costs, and asked Conservatives to specify which spending they would cut. Most exchanges repeated these positions across several questioners.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
