An adjournment debate where the Conservative MP asked the government to end corporate welfare spending and balance the budget. The Liberal MP mostly dodged the question, giving vague responses about uncertain times and strong economic plans. The Conservative then accused the Liberals of being a 'broken record of vapid slogans' who are incapable of fiscal responsibility. The Liberal defended by saying they are moving from a 'position of strength' that allows them to support Canadians without cuts. Overall, not much substance - the MPs mostly talked past each other without really engaging on the issue of government spending and deficits.
