The Economy
Question period focused on the economy, with the Conservatives citing Statistics Canada’s report that Canada is in a recession, the only one in the G20, and reading letters from Canadians who lost jobs, homes, savings or businesses. The opposition repeatedly asked whether the recession was “technical or real” and pressed for the Prime Minister to answer in person. Liberal ministers said the government is focused on building a stronger economy, diversifying trade in response to U.S. tariffs, investing in housing, infrastructure and workers, and pointed to affordability measures the Conservatives voted against. Some exchanges turned to criticisms of each other’s conduct, including remarks about the Prime Minister’s attendance at question period.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
