The Economy

Question period focused on the economy, with Conservatives repeatedly saying Canada is the only G20 country in a recession, citing rising food insecurity, mortgage and bankruptcy pressures, and asking the government to say whether the country is in a recession. They also criticized spending on the Prime Minister’s travel, including roughly $200,000 in flight catering over three trips. Liberal ministers pointed to trade agreements, investments in housing, transit, infrastructure, energy and critical minerals across the country, and said members should not talk down the economy; several replies also raised the Leader of the Opposition’s $8.8 million in office expenditures for 2024, saying he should explain them.Written by AI from the debate.
