The Economy
Question period focused on the state of the Canadian economy. Conservative members said Canada is the only G20 country in a recession, citing shrinking GDP in three of the last four quarters, falling business investment and productivity, low household savings, rising food bank use, and regional job losses; they asked the Prime Minister to confirm whether the country is in a recession and to acknowledge that the government’s economic plan has failed. Liberal ministers responded that the economy created 88,000 jobs in May with unemployment falling, pointed to a one-time Canada groceries and essentials benefit paid to about 12 million Canadians, and cited major investments and job creation such as Shell’s $20 billion investment, the Darlington nuclear project, LNG Canada, and other energy and defence projects.Written by AI from the debate.
