Finance
During Question Period on finance, the Conservatives said debt interest costs now exceed what the government spends on health care or collects in GST, criticized spending on items like the federal gun program and debt interest, and asked why the government will not cut all gas taxes for the rest of the year. Liberals replied that Canada has the best debt-to-GDP and fiscal position in the G7, one of the fastest-growing economies, and wages outpacing inflation, and asked the Conservatives to name which programs they would cut, suggesting their spending criticism could include old age security, the Canada child benefit, or the school food program.Written by AI from the debate.
