The Economy
A debate about the economy. Members discussed the government's plans for economic growth and empowering workers, including making education more affordable and providing tax incentives for employee ownership trusts. While there was some focus on substance, much of the discussion consisted of thanking colleagues and congratulatory remarks.
“I'm happy my party is making a tax break permanent. It's a worker ownership program I like. I'm spinning that as protecting Canada. The government must keep making the economy strong for all Canadians.”
