The Economy

Question period focused on the economy, with Conservatives saying Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, pointing to job losses, falling GDP, rising food bank use, and what they called wasteful government spending, and asking why Canada is faring worse than other countries. Liberal ministers replied that the government has an economic plan, citing job-creating projects, the Canada groceries and essentials benefit arriving Friday, the national school food program, dental care, tax rebates, and support for Canadian industries like canola, potash and uranium, and arguing Conservatives vote against these supports. Several exchanges turned on each side accusing the other of political points rather than answers.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
