Finance
Question period focused on the cost of living and the federal government’s recent budget. Conservative members said federal borrowing and spending have made gas, groceries, and housing unaffordable, citing Statistics Canada data on food insecurity and a Dalhousie University report on grocery costs, and asked the government to reduce spending. Liberal members responded by listing tax cuts their government has made, saying Canada has the strongest fiscal position among G7 countries, and pointing to programs such as the national school food program, dental care, and grocery supports, which they said Conservatives vote against. Several questions and answers drew on members’ own constituencies and food bank use.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
