Employment
During question period on employment, Liberals pointed to recent job gains of 88,000 in May, rising consumer spending, wages outpacing inflation, and the CRA beginning payments of the enhanced groceries and essentials benefit, saying these show the government’s economic plan is helping families. The Conservatives argued that people are struggling to afford basics, citing a contractor in Renfrew-area member Cheryl Gallant’s riding who has almost no work booked because households cannot afford home repairs, and asked whether the government would admit Canada is in a recession.Written by AI from the debate.
