The Economy

During Question Period on the economy, Conservative MP Warren Steinley raised the cost of the Prime Minister’s recent air travel, citing $195,000 in catering expenses for three trips, and said Canadians are struggling to afford groceries, including in Saskatchewan where he said people were discussing stealing food. Liberal ministers replied that international trade trips are bringing results for Canadian workers, citing agricultural access deals with China and Malaysia said to support over 500,000 jobs, and Patty Hajdu said Steinley has voted against measures such as $10-a-day child care, trades training, summer jobs and school food programs, asking what he would support.Written by AI from the debate.
