2026-06-02 / Sitting 127 / No matching statements

In a debate on the economy, the Conservatives blamed the Liberal government for Canada being the only G7 country in recession, citing high debt, insolvencies, and unemployment. The Liberals defended their record, pointing to global economic headwinds and a trade war, while touting plans to diversify the economy and support various industries and regions. The discussion featured plenty of partisan finger-pointing and rhetoric, with the Conservatives accusing the Liberals of spin and deflecting blame, while the Liberals accused the Conservatives of political theatre and irresponsibility. Most of the substance focused on criticizing the other side rather than detailing any specific plans or policies to improve Canada's economic situation.
