The Economy
Question period focused on the economy, with Conservatives arguing that Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, with two straight quarters of contraction, rising food bank use and job losses, and saying the government’s spending and taxes caused it; they asked the government to acknowledge this, cut spending, and cancel taxes and regulations. Liberal ministers replied that Canada faces a trade war with the United States, pointed to major private investments and projects such as LNG deals, nuclear construction and port expansions, and cited affordability measures including the gas tax cut, grocery and school food supports, and Canada’s debt and growth figures relative to other G7 countries. Several replies also cited investments in the questioners’ own ridings.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
