The Economy
Question period focused on the economy. Conservative members said Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, citing 112,000 jobs lost this year, declining business investment, rising food bank use, and young people leaving Newfoundland and Labrador for work, and pressed the Prime Minister to explain why Canada is faring worse than its G7 peers. Government ministers responded that Canada is in a trade war and facing global headwinds, but that the economy is among the fastest-growing in the G7, pointing to rising non-U.S. exports, high foreign investment, billions in commercial deals, and spending on housing, defence, infrastructure, and projects like small craft harbours in Newfoundland and Labrador. Most exchanges returned to these competing pictures of the economy’s health.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
