The Economy

Question period focused on the economy and jobs, with several exchanges about Quebec. Conservatives said the province has lost 91,000 jobs this year, that young people are struggling to find work and housing, and that the government is spending too much and piling up debt; one member also cited a land lease costing the government far more than its annual rent and asked the Prime Minister to stop wasteful spending. Liberals pointed to investments they said are creating jobs, including $6 billion for training young people in the building trades, a new Airbus order of 150 aircraft in Mirabel, funding for Kruger in Trois-Rivières, and the start of the Matawinie graphite mine in Quebec, which they described as the largest in North America and a step toward energy sovereignty.Written by AI from the debate.
