Business of Supply

An opposition day motion on the state of Canada’s economy. Conservatives argued the country is in a recession, citing flat or negative GDP growth, declining business investment, weak productivity, and rising food bank use, and called for tax cuts, reduced regulation and more competition. Liberals pointed to job growth since the last election, wages rising faster than inflation, high foreign investment, growing exports and programs such as the national school food program, and argued that describing Canada’s economy as broken hurts the country in trade negotiations. Bloc Québécois members said Liberal policies contributed to a weak economy but questioned whether the Conservatives were overstating how bad things are. A brief procedural exchange concerned quorum and whether members may comment on attendance in the chamber.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
