The Economy

During question period on the economy, Conservative member Bernard Généreux asked how the government will make life more affordable, citing a Dalhousie University report that Canadians are cutting back on groceries and skipping meals, and said higher prices, household debt and food bank use show the cost of Liberal spending. Liberal members responded by pointing to what they called Conservative plans for spending cuts, asking which projects and communities would be affected, and describing government investments in agri-food manufacturing from the economic update as a way to increase domestic food production and lower grocery prices.Written by AI from the debate.
