The Economy

During question period on the economy, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre repeatedly asked why Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, citing job losses, mortgage delinquencies at a 17-year high, household debt, falling investment, and a Food Banks Canada report saying one in four Canadians lives with food insecurity. Liberal ministers replied that Canada is managing an unfair and unjustified U.S. tariff war as the economy most integrated with the United States, while pointing to job creation in aerospace, manufacturing and military contracts, work with provinces to protect workers, new projects like mines and pipelines, talks with U.S. representatives on the trade agreement, and cost-of-living programs such as child care, dental care and grocery support that the Conservatives voted against. Some responses also urged the Conservatives to help build the country rather than criticize it, and Poilievre noted the Prime Minister had not appeared to answer questions on the recession.Written by AI from the debate.
