The Economy

During question period on the economy, Conservatives said Canada is the only G7 country in recession, pointing to two quarters of negative growth, rising food bank use and grocery costs, which they attributed to government spending, debt and immigration. They called on the government to admit its economic plan has failed and lower food costs. Liberals replied that a global economic disruption, including tariffs on Canadian goods and wars abroad, is the cause, and pointed to measures they said are helping, including a tax cut for 22 million Canadians, the national school food program, a groceries and essentials benefit of up to $530 for couples, diversifying trade partners, and investments in natural resources and job creation.Written by AI from the debate.
